directions

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook 5 minutes or until softened. Add the beef or lamb and cook about 5 minutes, stirring to break up. Drain off excess fat. Stir in the tomato paste and tomato sauce. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Simmer 5 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Heat 4 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Add eggplant slices and cook until they are lightly browned. Drain on paper towels. Place alternate layers of meat mixture and the cooked eggplant slices in a greased 2 quart casserole, beginning and ending with eggplant slices. In a small bowl, beat together the yogurt, eggs, salt and pepper and spoon this mixture over the Moussaka. Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the mixture is bubbly. Serve hot over roasted russet potatoes sliced 1/4 inch thick. Also serve with either a Greek or tossed salad and crusty bread.

  1. This is exactly my favourite way to make moussaka! I looked for this recipe because of a friend's request. As I usually just put together the ingredients without thinking, I wasn't able to write it down properly. Thanks for posting this!
