This beautifully blended veggie burger packs a powerful punch with taste and texture and it is made in the oven. With a light crust on the outside and meat-like quality on the inside, this burger hits a home-run for nutritional value, and a grand-slam once you load it up with juicy veggie toppings! We can’t forget the dairy since it’s not only national dairy month, but it also packs a ton of flavor and benefits!   **Ingredients** 1 Medium Eggplant, diced in 1” cubes Spray avocado oil 8 oz.
