If you love classic Greek flavors and you’re craving a recipe that’s hearty but on the lighter side, this recipe for Lighter and Simpler Moussaka is for you. With tender broiled eggplant, a hearty meat and veggie filling, and a creamy, streamlined white sauce, this Mediterranean eggplant casserole is as comforting as it is nutritious. RECIPE LINK IN BIO. Want to know how I added my Liz spin to the recipe? Here’s how: ➡️ I made the white sauce with a slurry versus a roux, and I used 2% reduced-fat milk. ➡️ I added, frozen chopped spinach to the beef layer to amp up the nutrient density. ➡️ I used 90% lean ground beef to reduce the saturated fat.
