Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices turkey bacon
- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons green onions
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Cut each slice of turkey bacon into four equal pieces.
Lay the bacon pieces in a single layer on a separate foil-lined baking sheet.
Bake the bacon for about 10 minutes, or until crispy, flipping halfway through.
While the bacon is cooking, finely chop the green onions and parsley.
In a mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese, chopped green onions, parsley, and black pepper. Mix until well blended and smooth.
Toast the whole wheat bread slices until golden brown.
Cut off the crusts from the toasted bread slices, then slice each piece into four squares.
Spread a dollop of the cream cheese mixture onto each bread square.
Place a piece of the baked turkey bacon on top of each cream cheese-covered bread square.
Arrange the topped bread slices on the prepared baking sheet and return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, just to warm through.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute before serving warm.
