\n- Eggplant:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s essential to pick firm, fresh eggplants. They\u2019re going to be the main component of your burger, so quality counts.<\/li>\n
- Whole-Wheat Hamburger Buns:<\/strong>\u00a0Not just for health, but the slightly nutty flavor of whole-wheat buns complement our eggplant slices wonderfully.<\/li>\n
- Feta Cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0A sprinkle of crumbled feta cheese lends that tangy kick. And, since we\u2019re using the fat-free variant, you get all the flavor without the extra calories.<\/li>\n
