Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a large baking sheet with nonstick spray.

Put butter in a small microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave until melted, about 15 seconds. Set aside.

Using a serrated knife, cut baguette into 16 half-inch-thick slices. (Discard the ends or reserve for another use.) Evenly place on the baking sheet.

Using a pastry brush, evenly brush bread slices with melted butter. Sprinkle with garlic powder.

Bake in the oven until warm and crispy, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium-high heat on the stove. Add egg substitute and scramble until mostly cooked, about 3 minutes. Add tomato and basil and continue to scramble until fully cooked, about 1 minute.

Evenly distribute scrambled egg mixture among baked bread slices. If you like, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
