70French Toast
In France, French toast is called "Pain Perdu", or lost bread, because it isa way of salvaging bread that has begun to go stale. In this recipe,
the bread gets "lost" altogether - we use flour tortillas.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
1/2 cup egg substitute
1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
4 small flour tortillas
1 tbsp margarine
1 peach, sliced
Place the egg substitute in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, combine
the sugar and cinnamon. One at a time, coat the tortillas in the egg substitute,
then dip them in the cinnamon sugar. In a medium nonstick skillet, melt the
margarine. One at a time, cook the tortillas until the egg is lightly golden,
about 2 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate. Spoon the peach slices
into the center of the tortillas; roll into cylinders.

Pepperoni Pizza Pouches
Pepperoni pizza - a forbidden food? Not our crispy, cheesy and delicious version.
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
One 10-ounce tube refrigerated pizza dough
4 tbsp fat-free pasta sauce
4 tbsp shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
8 slices pepperoni
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees; spray a nonstick baking sheet with nonstick
cooking spray. On a lightly floured work surface, unroll the dough. With
your hands, press it into a square; cut into 4 squares. Place the dough on the
baking sheet. Spread the dough with the pasta sauce and sprinkle with the
cheese. With the dough on the diagonal, fold in the corners as bi-fold rolls,
pressing the corners gently to seal; leave some of the pasta sauce exposed.
Place a pepperoni slice on the exposed pasta sauce. Bake until the cheese
melts and the crust is golden brown, 10-15 minutes.

1/2 sweet onion, chopped
6 shiitake mushrooms, trimmed and sliced

until tender, about 8 minutes. Stir in the tofu, salt and pepper; cook, stirring to
break up the tofu, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Heat the tortillas
according to package directions. Spoon the tofu mixture down the center of
each tortilla; fold in the sides to make bi-fold rolls.
