Blue Plan (Freestyle™) SmartPoints® value 4*
Ingredients
2 frozen meatless hamburger-style patties with about 100 calories each
1 eggplant, about the width of the patties
1/2 cup canned crushed tomatoes
Seasonings
1/4 tsp. Italian seasoning, or more to taste
Optional: chopped fresh basil
Directions
Remove the ends of the eggplant. Cut three 3/4-inch-wide eggplant slices. Pat dry, if needed. Save the rest for another use.
Bring a large skillet sprayed with nonstick spray to medium heat. Cook eggplant slices and burger patties for 3 - 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine tomatoes with Italian seasoning in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover and microwave for 30 seconds, or until hot. Mix well.
Plate one eggplant slice and top with a spoonful of sauce; evenly top with a burger patty. Alternate layering the remaining eggplant slices and burger patty, adding a spoonful of sauce in between each layer. Cover your "tower" with all of the remaining sauce.
