Baked French Toast

(Perfect for a crowd or for freezing.)

Serves 6

1 1/2 c. nondairy milk

2 T. unbleached flour

2 T. cinnamon-sugar (mix 1 T. each)

8 slices of bread (depending on bread size)

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a bowl mix milk, flour, and cinnamon-sugar. Dip the bread into the mixture, just enough to coat each side. Remove quickly and place onto a lightly oiled or non-stick cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes until firm. Serve with maple syrup, jam, or chopped fruit. Wrap and freeze leftover toast. To reheat, pop into a toaster or microwave for 30 seconds.

1 can (15-oz.) refried black beans 1/4 c. mild salsa or picante 1 c. vegan sour cream

½ c. green onion, chopped

2 c. lettuce, shredded 1 c. tomatoes, chopped

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread pizza dough onto a 12-inch baking pan or cookie sheet, according to package directions. Brush with oil (optional) and bake 6-8 minutes, until lightly browned. Heat beans and salsa or picante in a sauce pan over medium-low heat, while stirring, to warm. After removing the pizza crust from the oven, cool slightly, then top with bean mixture. If the mixture is too runny, bake crust an additional 3-6 minutes. Remove from oven and cool. Top with sour cream, then fresh veggies.
