Craving comfort food? Go Greek style with this hearty, satisfying option. Chef Einat combines a classic mix of thin-sliced potatoes, savory eggplant, and seasoned beef with creamy bechamel sauce and bakes it to golden, bubbly perfection. Her signature twist? A toasted garlic and thyme breadcrumb topping for crunch. On the side, sumac adds signature Mediterranean flavor to the salad of thinly sliced red onions. With its bright, tangy flavor and crisp texture, it’s a refreshing counterpoint to the moussaka’s richness.
