Helpful hints

• Koko sandwich can be baked instead of fried. Heat oven to 350° 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.
