While it takes a bit of time, it's actually quite simple to make. Moussaka (/ m uː ˈ s ɑː k ə /, / ˌ m uː s ə ˈ k ɑː / or / ˌ m uː s ɑː ˈ k ɑː /) is an eggplant- and/or potato-based dish, often including ground meat, which is common in the Balkans and the Middle East, with many local and regional variations. The epitome of Greek comfort food, moussaka is basically a hearty eggplant casserole with a juicy, flavor-packed meat sauce. Topping the meat is either a rich bechamel sauce- a French influence that was introduced later-or, as in today's Moussaka recipe, a cheese-based topping.

Steps to make Moussaka:

1. Slice the courgettes and place them on the bottom of a greased ceramic dish. I've added some salt and ground black pepper
2. Cook the sliced onions and beef till it gets almost ready. Add some salt, white pepper and ground black pepper. I've added 1 hot green pepper to get extra spicy
3. Add the tomato can, oregano, garlic, cayenne pepper
4. Place the mixture to the ceramic dish
5. Start preparing the cheese sauce by warming up the butter in a deeper pan. Add the flour. Remove from the heat and start adding the milk on small doses.
6. In a small bow beat the egg and add some of the hot sauce
7. Mix the 2 mixtures and stir well. Add some salt and ground black pepper
8. Plece the potatoes in the ceramic dish
9. Add the cheese sauce on top and bake in a preheated oven for 45min on 150 C
10. Bon appetit
