This Moussaka is a light Moussaka because the béchamel is not part of the original Moussaka recipe. This addition was imported much later in the history of this gratin! Eventually, light too because the eggplants are not fried, but roasted in the oven. So enjoy.
Pour the lemon juice over everything, if you like, then sprinkle with a little grated Gruyere cheese or parmesan, as you prefer.
Bake at 200°Cor 400°F for just 10 minutes and enjoy this appetizing dish.
