How to Make Eggplant Veggie Burgers

If you want to add a twist to your regular veggie burgers, try creating a delicious eggplant veggie burger. Not only do eggplant burgers taste great, veggie burger recipes are classic dieters' specials because vegetables generally contain fewer calories than most meats-exactly what the weight conscious individual is looking for.

The eggplant comes in three different colors. The most common color is purple, but can also be found in a pale white and bright yellow. Eggplants block free radicals, have high blood cholesterol blocking properties and are a good source of folic acid and potassium.

Eggplant slices practically beg to be added to a burger. Not only is an eggplant slice just about the perfect size for a hamburger bun, but it also tastes as though it belongs on a burger. For an even more robust flavor, dip eggplant slices in a beaten egg and milk mixture and then roll the slices in breadcrumbs and grill.
