Phyllo dough dries out quickly so you need to work fast. A tip: Have all the ingredients prepared before you unwrap the dough.
3 sprays cooking spray 1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese 1/2 cup fat-free egg substitute 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup chives, fresh, chopped 4 sheet phyllo dough 3 medium plum tomato(es), cored and sliced 1/4 inch thick 1 Tbsp basil, fresh, chopped
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 9-inch glass pie plate with nonstick cooking spray 2. Stir together ricotta, egg substitute and 2 tablespoons each of Parmesan and chives; set aside. 3. Lay 2 sheets of dough across pie plate. Press down and coat with cooking spray. Lay remaining dough across pie plate in opposite direction of first dough layer; press down. 4. Spoon ricotta filling over dough and layer with half of tomato slices. Sprinkle with remaining chives and basil; layer with remaining tomato slices. Top with remaining Parmesan. 5. Trim off excess dough, leaving a 2-inch border. Fold up border edges to partially enclose filling (do not pull dough tightly — it should form a loose, lacy crust). Coat with cooking spray. Bake until Parmesan is golden and filling is firm, about 20 minutes. 6. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces.
