Ingredients & Directions
- 12 slices Pepperidge Farm® Light Style Extra Fiber Wheat Bread
- 1 cup shredded low fat Cheddar cheese(about 4 ounces)
- 2/3 cup cholesterol-free egg substitute
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach, thawed and well drained
- 1 can (about 14 ounces) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped red bell pepper

Heat the oven to 375°F. Spray 12 (3-inch) muffin-pan cups with vegetable cooking spray.
Press the bread slices into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin-pan cups. Spray the bread cups with the cooking spray.
Bake for 10 minutes or until the bread cups are lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
Stir 1/2 cup cheese, the egg substitute, spinach, artichoke hearts, bell pepper, basil, garlic powder and ground red pepper in a medium bowl. Spoon the mixture into the bread cups.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the filling is set. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Serve immediately.
