Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange your eggplant and potato slices on a baking sheet, lightly oil, salt, and bake for 15 minutes or until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in your skillet, cook the ground lamb over medium heat until browned. Discard the excess fat.

  • Now, let's layer our whispers. In your oven-safe dish, layer the eggplant, followed by the potato slices. Spoon the lamb mixture over this, then pour over your béchamel sauce, covering like a warm embrace. Sprinkle the feta on top, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
  • Bake this for about 45 minutes, or until golden. Let it rest for a few minutes before serving, like a soft sigh of contentment after a slow dance.
  • Bon appétit, my dear lovers. Here's to shared smiles, to love, and to an unforgettable Greek getaway right in your kitchen.
