For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits

  • 1 cup Bisquick reduced fat (called "heart smart"- avail in the baking aisle of most grocery stores)
  • cup buttermilk low fat
  • ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded (more or less to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • pinch of garlic powder
  • pinch of salt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried parsley

For the Sandwiches

  • 2 eggs
  • splash of white wine vinegar for poaching eggs
  • 4 strips of bacon cooked
  • ½ to mato sliced
  • ½ avocado sliced
  • ½ cup fresh spinach washed and stems removed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • splash of hot sauce optional

Instructions

For the Cheddar Bay Biscuits

  • Preheat oven to 450 F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or aluminum foil)
  • In a small mixing bowl, combine Bisquick, milk and cheese, use hands to mix thoroughly.
  • Divide dough in half and form into two balls. Place on prepared baking sheet. Bake until tops turn golden brown (approx 7-9 min.) Remove from oven and let cool to touch.
  • In a small microwave safe bowl or mug, microwave butter, garlic and salt until butter becomes liquid (approx. 10 sec.). Brush the tops of the biscuits with butter mixture. Sprinkle with parsley.

For the Sandwiches

  • While the biscuits are cooking, poach the eggs. In a deep pan, bring 4-5 inches of water to a simmer, until there are steadily breaking bubbles on the bottom of the pan then add a splash of white wine vinegar. Break eggs, one at a time, into a cup or small ramekin. Place the bowl/cup close to the surface of the water and gently pour into the water. You may need to use a spoon to "push" the egg whites closer to the yolk to keep them together. Repeat with second egg. Turn off heat and cover pan. When egg whites are fully cooked and yolk is still runny ( approx. 4 min.) remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon. Set aside. Eggs can be reheated just before serving by slipping back into hot water again for just a moment.
  • When biscuits are done . Slice in half and layer the bottom slice of biscuit with spinach, avocado, bacon, and tomato. (salt and pepper to taste) Top with warm poached egg and biscuit top. Add a splash of hot sauce if desired.
