Μουσακά is a traditional Greek dish made with layers of eggplant, minced meat, and béchamel sauce. The eggplant is usually sliced and fried or baked, while the meat is often seasoned with spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. This hearty casserole is baked until golden and bubbly, making it a popular choice for family meals and gatherings. The origins of μουσακά can be traced back to the Middle East, but it has become a staple in Greek cuisine. Variations exist, with some recipes including potatoes or zucchini. It is typically served warm and is enjoyed for its rich flavors and comforting texture.
