  • 2/3 cup plain fat free yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Greek seasoning

  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Greek seasoning

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 425°F. Cut rolls in half most of the way through. Remove and reserve a strip of bread from inside of each roll half. Set rolls aside. Place bread strips in food processor container. Cover; process to form crumbs.

Divide beef mixture into 16 equal portions; shape into meatballs. Place on rack in broiler pan. Bake in 425°F oven 18 to 20 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile combine Creamy Yogurt Sauce ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.
    Place 4 meatballs in each roll. Top evenly with Creamy Yogurt Sauce, tomato, cucumber and olives.
