Helpful hints

  • Koko sandwich can be baked instead of fried. Heat oven to 350掳 F, place mixture in an oiled baking dish and bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until top is golden brown. Cut into 4 portions.
  • For a twist, try making koko sandwich with chicken instead of tuna.
  • Lavash bread, flour tortilla or white bread may be used in place of the pita bread, if desired.
  • Use 1-1/4 cups low-cholesterol egg product for a lower cholesterol dish.
