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
-
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.
-
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.
-
Stir egg substitute and half-and-half together in a shallow bowl.
-
Recoat skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
-
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.
-
To serve, cut each sandwich in half and spoon pears on top. Yields 1 sandwich and about 1/2 cup
