We had this for supper last night. It is very good and I will be making it again. DH & I both enjoyed this. We've only been eating eggplant a couple of years so I'm always looking for new ways to fix them. I didn't have any yogurt so I used a combination of 1% fat cottage cheese and no fat cream cheese. I've seen recipes that say yogurt of cottage cheese. Decided I want it a bit creamier then just the cottage cheese and added the sour cream Worked great.
