Mozzarella Eggplant

Newark, OH(Zone 5b)

I found this recipe on RecipeSource.com and Howie made it today. It is *delicious*. He used a whole egg instead of just an egg white (whoopsie!), and added a little more cottage cheese and mozzarella than it called for, so his version was a little higher in fat and calories. He also added more mushrooms, some minced garlic, fennel, oregano and rosemary. Yum!
