SEED & SPINACH BISCUITS

SEED & SPINACH BISCUITS

Saturday mornings I meet up with a friend to go swimming. I usually roll out of bed and make my way there picking up a coffee and a bagel on the way. In my attempts to be healthier and lower my carb intake, I created this biscuit which I can eat on my way to the pool. It’s breakfast in a few bites. An almond flour biscuit with cheese, spinach, shallots, turkey, and then covered in a mix of seeds. It gives me a bit of everything without the sugar.

Notes

I like to put these in sandwich bags and keep them in the fridge so I can grab one on the go. But if I’m staying in, I love to poach an egg and put it on top of a warmed up biscuit.
