Instructions

  1. 1
    Cut eggplants into ⅜ inch (1 cm) slices, salt them, let sit for 20 minutes, then pat dry.
  2. 2
    Brush eggplant slices with olive oil on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes until soft and golden brown.
  3. 3
    Meat sauce: Sauté onions, add garlic and ground meat, sear over high heat. Deglaze with wine, add tomatoes, cinnamon, oregano, bay leaf. Simmer for 20 minutes until thick.
  4. 4
    Béchamel: Melt butter, stir in flour and toast for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk until creamy and lump-free. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  5. 5
    Remove béchamel from heat, stir in cheese, then egg yolk (do not cook!). Fold in cold cannabis butter.
  6. 6
    Grease a baking dish (approximately 12×8 inches / 30×20 cm). Layer: eggplants, meat sauce, eggplants, béchamel.
  7. 7
    Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  8. 8
    Bake at 350°F (180°C) for about 40 minutes until the béchamel is golden brown and set.
  9. 9
    Let rest for 10–15 minutes before serving — moussaka cuts better when cooled slightly.

Pro Tips

  • Roast eggplants instead of frying — healthier and just as delicious.
  • Cannabis butter in the béchamel: Butter is already the base fat — cannabis butter blends in seamlessly.
  • Cinnamon in the meat sauce is the Greek secret — don't skip it!
  • Moussaka reheated the next day is even better — flavors meld together.
