Ingredients

3/4 cup ricotta cheese, whole milk or part-skim
3 tablespoons grated imported Parmesan cheese
1/8 teaspoon minced garlic, fresh or jarred organic
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
2 tablespoons Basil Pesto, homemade or jarred
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (8-ounce) loaf French bread, cut into 24 thin slices
1 egg, large or extra-large
1/2 cup milk, any fat content
no-stick spray oil, butter, or oil for the pan

Directions:

Combine the ricotta, Parmesan, garlic, hot pepper sauce, and all but 1 teaspoon of the pesto in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Make 12 small sandwiches, using 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture and 2 slices of bread for each.

Mix the egg, milk, remaining pesto, and salt and pepper in a wide, shallow bowl or pie plate.

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat. Coat with no-stick spray oil or a small amount of butter or oil. Dip the sandwiches in the custard, a few at a time, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes on each side serve.
