Eggplant and Avocados are not something we usually have. So I didn't know how this recipe would go over. But, everyone loves it and wanted seconds and thirds. We will definitely be making this again. I was a bit worried about it being bland so I added a 1/4 cup of brush-eta mix from the grocery store and I will add that into the recipe.

My cousin and her family are supposed to come visit and her husband is Greek. I wanted to try this to have something special to fix when they come to visit and this is definitely on the menu! It's also lighter on the bread with using the pita which is a plus. My family loved this too.
