    I made this last night and I was ever so amazed that it delicious considering that I am NOT a fan of cottage cheese at all! This will be made again in my house! - 2/5/13

    Very Good
    This recipe was excellent. I added chopped onion & used canned, drained chopped tomatoes; I added italian seasoning to the egg/cottage cheese mixture. I baked it @ 375 for 60 minutes. It's very tasty! - 9/3/12

    Incredible!
    I switched chili powder for cayenne pepper and cajun spice, added onion and zuchinni, italian seasoning spices and the mozarella. We had half for dinner w/ bread and will eat the other half with plain spaguethi today... YUMMI - 2/6/09

    It is still cooking...however there is ALOT of liquid still in there and it's been in the oven for almost an hour now. I didn't notice what temp to cook at, so I guessed 375. Maybe that's too low? Help! It smells really good and I can't wait to try it!!! - 12/16/08

    Good
    This looks good, but what can I use instead of salt? I'm watching my sodium intake. - 10/5/08

    I use very little salt, really just to help get some of the bitterness out the of the eggplant. But you can omit the salt and increase the Mrs. Dash or try a little extra italian seasoning. Any herb just adds more flavor.

    Incredible!
    This recipe is super easy and sooo good, especially with a little kick of Cayenne Pepper! One suggestion, make sure the slices really are 1/4 - 1/2 inch in thickness otherwise the texture is a little undercooked. Also delicious with Gruyere cheese on top. - 10/3/08

    Incredible!
    LOOKS REALLY GOOD--I'LL TRY IT. Oh I tried it it is wonderful!!! I leave out the oil and use Pam. I also chop up an onion and add to the cottage cheese mixture--then add 1 cup mozzarella cheese. I always intend to freeze for later but never have any left! I love it. THANKS - 9/29/08
