Not giving any measures here except for the cheese sauce:

Heat oven to 225 C

Lightly fry chopped onion in butter, don't let the onion change color,
add a clove of garlic, chopped, then add ground meat (whatever suits your
taste) and brown it. Add oregano, salt and pepper and set aside.

Add oil to skillet and in hot oil fry eggplant slices - do not salt them
first!

Cheese sauce: lightly beat 2 eggs, mix well with ½ cup mayonnaise and 1
cup shredded, fat and flavorful cheese.

Spread meat sauce over eggplant slices, top with cheese sauce and bake(?
terminology?) for about 15 minutes or until top is golden brown.

Made it for dinner yesterday, surprised at how easy and quick it was to
make.

I have used several recipes for moussaka, and note that they usuall call
for cinnamon as part of the spice mix. Counterintuitive to most of us,
but it adds a nice touch. I usually just microwave the eggplant slices
until soft rather than frying them. I make a soy milk cream sauce,
rather than a cheese one for he top. but that is for kosher reasons.

wondering the other day if i could do that, Lee

Essentially, I just one to one substitute it for that the recipe calls
for. make a roux with flour and fat(not butter in my case) and add soy
(or rice) milk, mixing with a whisk constatnly to avoid lumps. ove
lowered heat until it reaches desired thickness. season to taste(salt,
freshly grond place pepper, herbs like oregono, top meat and eggplant with
sauce and bake.
