3. Add the tomatoes, parsley, salt and pepper, then bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes or until the meat is tender.
4. Arrange half the eggplant slices in a layer in an ovenproof dish. Add the meat mixture, then a final layer of the remaining eggplant slices.
5. Beat the eggs in a bowl, then add in the yoghurt, salt and pepper to taste. Pour the mixture over the eggplants and sprinkle some grated cheese on the top.
