FRENCH-TOASTED TUNA AND HUMMUS SANDWICHES

Ingredients

6-ounce Can water-packed solid tuna

3/4 cup Prepared hummus

1 cup Finely shredded fresh spinach leaves

1 cup Grated carrots

1 teaspoon Cumin

8 slices Multi-grain bread

1/2 cup Low-fat milk

1 large egg

2 Large egg whites

1 teaspoon Olive oil

Preparation

Press all liquid from tuna. Crumble the tuna into a bowl. Add the hummus, spinach, carrots and cumin, then mix thoroughly. Make four sandwiches with the bread and tuna mixture.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, egg and egg whites. Dip one side of each sandwich at a time into the egg mixture until it is lightly soaked. You should use up all of the egg mixture.

In a large nonstick skillet (or two medium nonstick skillets) over very low heat, heat oil. Add the sandwiches and cover the skillet loosely with a lid or piece of foil.

Cook until the undersides of the sandwiches are well-browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn the sandwiches over and cook, still covered, until browned on the second side, about 8 minutes more.
