These are FANTASTIC! I made half the recipe and it was quite messy since there was so much sauce, but we wouldn't change anything next time lol. I also topped mine with roasted red peppers, which was a nice touch. I used reduced fat feta, egg white only, WW cream cheese, and fat free sour cream and Sandwich thins for the bun. They ended up being 8pts WW which is definitely worth it!
