  • Indulge in this creamy Greek Keto Moussaka, a delightful low-carb twist on a classic dish that’s bursting with flavor!

    Ingredients:
    - 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
    - 1 teaspoon salt
    - 1 pound ground beef
    - 1 small onion, diced
    - 2 cloves garlic, minced
    - 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
    - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
    - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    - 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
    - 1 cup heavy cream
    - 2 large eggs
    - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
    - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    - 2 tablespoons olive oil

    Directions:
    1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and get ready for some deliciousness!
    2. Sprinkle the sliced eggplant with salt and let it sit for about 30 minutes. This will help the eggplant release some moisture. Rinse it off and pat the slices dry with a paper towel.
    3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until they’re nice and soft—about 3-4 minutes should do the trick.
    4. Toss in the ground beef and break it apart with a spoon. Cook until it’s browned (around 5-7 minutes).
    5. Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, and those optional red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then remove from heat.
    6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until they’re well combined and creamy.
    7. In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, layer half of your eggplant slices on the bottom. Spread half of the meat mixture over the eggplant, and then half of the creamy mixture. Repeat this layering with the remaining ingredients.
    8. Top everything off with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese for that perfect melty finish!
    9. Bake in your preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is beautifully golden and bubbly. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before digging in!
