There’s something comforting about a warm biscuit breakfast sandwich in the morning. Unfortunately, many restaurant versions are loaded with calories, saturated fat, and sodium, leaving you feeling sluggish rather than energized. This healthier version keeps all the flavors you love while making a few simple swaps. By using a whole wheat biscuit, turkey bacon, and a protein-rich egg, you’ll enjoy a satisfying breakfast that helps keep you full throughout the morning. For an even lighter option, homemade whole wheat biscuits made with Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream can boost protein while reducing fat and calories.

Ingredients

• 1 whole wheat biscuit
• 1 large egg
• Pinch of salt
• Pinch of black pepper
• 2 slices turkey bacon
• 1 slice reduced-fat cheddar cheese

OR

3. Season the egg with a pinch of salt and black pepper while cooking.
4. Warm the biscuit and slice it in half.
5. Place the egg, turkey bacon, and cheese on the biscuit.
6. Serve immediately.
