Savor a creamy, low-carb twist on a classic dish with this Greek Keto Moussaka! Perfect for satisfying your cravings without the carbs. #KetoRecipes #Moussaka #LowCarb #HealthyEating #Deliciousness 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. Let’s get that oven going! Preheat to 375°F (190°C). 2. While the oven warms up, sprinkle your eggplant slices with salt and set them aside for about 30 minutes. This helps get rid of extra moisture. Afterward, rinse and pat them dry. 3. In a large skillet, heat up the olive oil over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until they’re softened—this should take 3-4 minutes. 4. Time for the beef! Add the ground beef to the skillet and break it up with a spoon. Cook until it’s beautifully browned, around 5-7 minutes. 5. Stir in the diced tomatoes, oregano, cinnamon, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Let this simmer away for 10 minutes, then take it off the heat. 6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and eggs until they're all mixed up nicely. 7. Now, grab a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer half of those eggplant slices on the bottom. Spread half of your glorious meat mixture over the eggplant, followed by half of the cream mixture. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, meat, and cream. 8. Finally, sprinkle the top with shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese. Yum! 9. Bake it in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool for about 10 minutes before you dive in.
