Yield 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 20
Steps:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, mushrooms, celery and garlic and saute until tender. Add the flour and form a roux, stirring to incorporate the butter and flour.
- Slowly add the vegetable stock and stir until smooth. Continue to cook until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. If the sauce looks too thick you can add more stock or water to thin it down.
- Add all the blanched vegetables to the sauce along with the fresh herbs. Cook for 5 minutes, gently stirring, over medium heat. Add the mascarpone and heavy cream and allow to reduce for another 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. While the sauce is simmering, add the canola oil to a large skillet, over medium heat, until smoking. Slice the bread into triangles and shallow-fry on both sides until golden brown. Remove from the oil, drain on paper towels and set aside. To serve, place a ladle of vegetable stew into each large soup bowl and garnish with fried toast points.
- Cook's Note: Blanching vegetable is a great way to speed up the cooking process of any dish and is very simple to do. Simply cook vegetables in boiling salted water until vegetables are still firm but cooked, then remove from boiling water and place into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside until ready to use.

WEIGHT WATCHERS HONEY BANANA TOAST - 2 POINTS PER SERVING
I am an idiot. Last year I GLUED all my weight watchers recipes out of weight watchers magazines into an exercise book. Come this year when I am given not one but two recipe folders to hold snippets out of magazine I have to try and unglue them. The result is not successful. So I am putting them on recipezaar to print them out to organise them. I'm not sure what issue they are from but this is definitely from weight watchers magazine.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Spray an 8-inch by 8-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Place bread cubes evenly along the bottom of the dish.
- Sprinkle diced apple evenly over the bread.
- In a medium-large bowl, combine all other ingredients (cream cheese, soymilk, egg substitute, syrup, butter, cinnamon, and sweetener). If you like your French toast pretty sweet, add an extra packet of sweetener. Using a handheld electric mixer set to medium speed, mix until lump-free and smooth. Pour mixture over the bread and apple.
- Make sure bread is soaked in the liquid mixture. If needed, toss lightly to coat.
- Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, until egg mixture is pretty firm and cooked through. (Be sure not to overcook, as bread may burn.) Let cool slightly and cut into quarters. If you like, serve with additional syrup for dipping. Dig in!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Bread: Select a bread that is firm enough to hold its shape when toasted, such as a baguette, sourdough, or country bread.
- Slice the Bread Properly: Cut the bread into even slices, about 1/2-inch thick, to ensure even toasting.
- Toast the Bread Thoroughly: Toast the bread in a toaster, oven, or skillet until it is golden brown and crispy, but not burnt.
- Butter the Toast While Hot: Immediately butter the toast while it is still hot to allow the butter to melt and soak into the bread.
- Top with Desired Toppings: Choose toppings that complement the flavor of the bread and butter, such as jams, spreads, cheese, or savory ingredients like herbs, spices, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Toast points are a versatile and delicious appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. By following these tips, you can create perfect toast points that are crispy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
