Classic Greek Moussaka

A traditional Greek Moussaka featuring layers of fried potatoes, eggplants, and a rich spiced meat sauce, topped with a creamy cheese-infused Bechamel (Mornay) sauce and baked to golden perfection. Chef's tips: (1) Frying the vegetables is traditional and yields the best flavor, but you can optionally bake them in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper for a lighter version. (2) Make sure to add the milk to the flour-oil mixture gradually while whisking vigorously to avoid any lumps in the bechamel. (3) Letting the baked moussaka cool for at least 1 hour is essential to ensure clean slices when serving; otherwise, the layers may slide apart. (4) This recipe is based on visual analysis from the video. Please refer to the original video for exact cooking details.
