Ingredients

  • 2 serving(s) butter-flavor cooking spray
  • 4 small pear(s), ripe, unpeeled, cored, seeded and diced
  • 1 Tbsp unpacked brown sugar
  • 1 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tsp sugar
  • 8 slice(s) whole-wheat bread
  • 2/3 cup(s) fat-free egg substitute
  • 1/3 cup(s) fat-free creamer, such as fat-free 1/2 and 1/2

Directions

  1. Coat a nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Add pears and brown sugar; sauté over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until pears are tender and juicy (about 5 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside. Wipe skillet clean.

  2. Combine ricotta cheese, cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and stir well. Spread 1/4 cup of cheese mixture over each of 4 bread slices. Top with remaining 4 bread slices to form sandwiches.

  3. Stir egg substitute and half-and-half together in a shallow bowl.

  4. Recoat skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.

  5. Dip each sandwich into egg mixture and turn to coat. Place 2 sandwiches at a time in skillet and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until browned. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

  6. To serve, cut each sandwich in half and spoon pears on top. Yields 1 sandwich and about 1/2 cup
