Recipe yields 4 servings
Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and lightly toast in oven for about 7 to 8 minutes. Set aside.
In a bowl, combine egg substitute, half and half and cream cheese. With a mixer or whisk, beat until frothy. Add chives and mix again.
Lightly coat a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium heat until hot. Pour egg mixture into skillet and let sit for 1 minute. With a spatula, scramble eggs. As eggs set, add salmon and black pepper to taste. Stir.
Evenly distribute the egg mixture on baguette slices. Garnish with additional chives if desired. Serve warm.
Toaster Oven: You can toast the baguette slices in a toaster oven at 350°F until golden brown for a quicker alternative to using a full oven.
If you don't have a whole-wheat baguette, you can use sourdough slices or another sturdy whole-grain bread.
If you prefer, you can use 4 whole large eggs instead of the egg substitute.
Fresh dill or parsley can be used in place of or in addition to chives for a different flavor profile.
For a tangier taste, try using goat cheese in place of the low-fat cream cheese.
