Mini moussaka, that must be the perfect appetizer! Very cool idea.
Yoghurt bechamel is a Nobel idea
Moussaka, mmmm.😋 The yogurt topping is a great alternative for those of us who need to eat gluten free.😃

Great recipe 🌿
Love moussaka
Moussaka is my favourite!!!
I will try these they look great. I know they will taste great anyway ❤
Looks good.
I like greek food a lot. 🎉😊
looks really good
This is fabulous! I'm vegetarian, so instead of meat, I'll use chopped mushrooms and lentils! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing recipes!
Genius! Looking forward to it!
Thank you for the video👏👏👏👏 waooooo Yogurt bechamel, I will try 👍👍👍👍
I like this version way better then frying the potatoes and eggplants. I also never liked béchamel so this yogurt substitute is great!
I never make it because I find moussaka very heavy. this version seems to be a lot healthier and less of that fired heavy taste.
I love it and now I will finally make a moussaka :)
I'm not Greek (unfortunately) but I have always made a yoghurt bechamel sauce for moussaka!
Can’t wait to try these…..yummy! Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this recipe, I'm allergic to eggplant but will make this just with the potatoes and sauce or zucchini 😋
Greetings from Saskatchewan 🇨🇦
We put all spice in the sauce also nutmeg . Salt and pepper
Θα μας αφήσεις να κάνουμε δίαιτα; καλοκαίρι έρχεται 😂 Πάντως είναι πανέξυπνο. Το γιαούρτι αντί μπεσαμελ το έχω κάνει στο παρελθόν, είναι όμως πιο νόστιμο αν ο κιμάς είναι απο αρνί, αντί απο μοσχάρι.
I know musaka with steak meat but more good.
Can I omit the eggs?
TY sweet Dimitroula mou! I'll try to make these combine with 🍆 & zucchini. What do you think? 💕💕💕❤️❤️❤️
