Eggplant Moussaka is a classic dish hailing from the Mediterranean, particularly beloved in Greek cuisine. This hearty, layered casserole features tender slices of roasted eggplant, rich ground meat (typically lamb or beef), and a creamy béchamel sauce, all baked to perfection. The dish is infused with aromatic spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg, which add depth and warmth to the flavour profile. Often topped with a golden, bubbling crust, Eggplant Moussaka is not only a feast for the taste buds but also for the eyes. Served as a main course, it embodies the essence of Mediterranean comfort food, making it a favorite at family gatherings and special occasions. Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or reheated the next day, Eggplant Moussaka is a delicious and satisfying dish that showcases the vibrant ingredients and culinary traditions of the region.
