This is definitely one of the cutest b-fast recipes ever. The key to making this one pretty is to carefully craft your egg crust. It's really not that complicated. If I can do it, anyone can.
Ingredients½ cup fat-free liquid egg substitute
¼ cup shredded fat-free mozzarella cheese
¼ cup canned tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chopped green bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped mushrooms
Optional: salt, black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, etc.
DirectionsSeason tomato sauce to taste with optional ingredients, if desired, and set sauce aside.
Bring a small pan sprayed with nonstick spray to low heat. Pour in egg substitute. Cover and then cook for 3 minutes, or until egg "crust" starts to form.
Carefully flip your egg. Cover and cook for another minute. While egg crust is cooking, microwave chopped veggies for 30 seconds.
Next, top your egg crust with tomato sauce, cheese, and then veggies. Cover again and cook over low heat for 2 minutes, or until cheese is melted. If you like, top with optional spices.

This French toast is super on its own, but feel free to serve it with sugar-free maple syrup, sugar-free preserves, fresh berries, and/or a squirt of fat-free whipped cream. I also like making this French toast into sticks. If you want to try it that way, just cut the bread into strips before dipping it into the egg wash. You'll feel like you're eating more that way, too!
