Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Turkey bacon
- 2 units Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 slice Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 unit Croissant
- 1 unit Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so you can warm the croissant later.
Lightly coat a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add the turkey bacon slices. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are crispy. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Re-spray the skillet with cooking spray and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs as they begin to set, creating soft curds. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the eggs are fully set but still soft. Remove from heat.
While the eggs are cooking, slice the croissant in half horizontally and place it on a baking sheet.
Once the oven is preheated, warm the croissant in the oven for about 3 minutes until lightly toasted.
Place the scrambled eggs on the bottom half of the croissant. Top with the slices of turkey bacon, followed by the low-fat cheddar cheese.
Place the top half of the croissant over the cheese. Press gently to hold the layers together.
Serve immediately for a warm, satisfying breakfast that's both delicious and low in fat.
