Ingredients

    Eggplant, fresh, 1 eggplant, unpeeled (approx 1-1/4 lb)
    Green, Yellow, Red Bell Peppers mixed, chopped, 1 cup
    Onions, raw, 0.25 cup, chopped
    Mushrooms, fresh, chopped, 0.5 cup
    Green chilies, chopped, 1 tbsp + 1 tsp
    Daisy Light Sour Cream, 2 tbsp
    Kraft Mexican Style 4 Cheese Blend (2% Milk), 6 tbsp
    Extra Light Olive Oil, 2 tbsp (for sauteing)
    McCormick Fajita Seasoning (to taste)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 and lightly oil a cookie sheet.

Cut stem off eggplant and cut vertically in half.

Scoop out inside of eggplant leaving 1/2" shell set aside on cookie sheet.

Chop cut insides of eggplant and saute lightly with olive oil, add onions, peppers, chilies, mushrooms and seasoning to mix and saute until only slightly cooked.

Remove from heat and mix in bowl with sour cream until evenly mixed.

Return mixture to eggplant shells and top evenly with shredded cheese.

Cook for 20-25 minutes until shell is soft and mixture is bubbly.

I usually cut each half in half to make 4 servings as a side dish but each half could be eaten by itself as a main course.
