Deborah Lee's Cannoli Breakfast image

I came up with this when I was desperate for a really yummy breakfast that was also low in fat and calories, but wouldn't taste like it was low in fat and calories. This is it, and it worked. And it's easy (especially if you keep pre-made topping in the refrigerator). You can have breakfast for you and the kids in the time it takes to toast a slice of bread, with no mess. The topping ingredients can be multiplied and stored in the refrigerator for as long as the cheese would stay fresh.

  • In a bowl, mix all the ingredients except bread well; you can use immediately or refrigerate until ready to use.
