Ingredients

    100% wholewheat bread, 12 slices
    *Cheddar cheese - fat free, 2 cups (shredded)
    2 Italian tomatoes, sliced thinly
    Onions, raw, 2 medium (2-1/2" dia), chopped coarsely
    Skim milk, 2 cups
    Egg substitute, liquid (Egg Beaters), 1 cup
    Prepared Dijon Mustard, 3 tsp
    Tabasco Sauce, 1/4 tsp
    Oregano, Dried (1 tsp)
    Basil, fresh, 1/8- 1/4 cup
    Canadian Bacon, 3 slices

Directions

Slice tomatoes and chop onions.
Fry the bacon in a frying pan and add the onions , cooking until softened. Drain bacon and crumble into small pieces. Remove excess oil from onions.
Spray a 13'x9" baking dish with olive oil-flavoured Pam or other cooking spray. Put half of the bread into the dish. Sprinkle one-third of the cheese over the bread. Add half the tomato slices. Repeat the layer and top with the remaining cheese.
Combine the cooked onion, skim milk, egg substitute and dried spices. Pour this over the bread mixture and refrigerate, covered, for at least one hour (you can also prepare this the night before and pop it into the oven in the morning).
When ready to bake, sprinkle the top with fresh basil and bake in a 350F oven for one hour. Just prior to serving, reheat the crumbled bacon in a microwave for about 1 minutes. Sprinkle on top and serve.
