Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 2 tablespoons light whipped butter or light buttery spread
  2. 1 (2-inch-wide) French baguette (about 4 ounces)
  3. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  4. 1 cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
  5. 1 plum tomato, diced
  6. 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  7. Salt and black pepper, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. 
  2. Put butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until melted, about 15 seconds. Set aside. 
  3. Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully cut baguette into 16 half-inch-thick slices. (Discard the ends or reserve for another use.) Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray and evenly place the bread on the sheet. 
  4. Using a pastry brush, evenly brush each slice of bread with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder. 
  5. Bake in the oven until warm and crispy, about 8 minutes. 
  6. Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add egg substitute and scramble until it’s mostly cooked, about 3 minutes. 
  7. Add tomato and basil to the skillet and continue to scramble until fully cooked, about 1 minute. 
  8. Evenly distribute scrambled egg mixture among the baked bread slices. If you like, season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!

Made this dish this morning for myself and my son… it was delicious! Very fresh-tasting with the tomatoes and fresh basil. We loved it! Served it with some fresh fruit. Will make for company next time.
