Top tips for easy moussaka
Whilst the majority of the preparation for your lamb moussaka is dead simple, the béchamel (or white) sauce can be tricky one to make. That is why we recommend a combination of eggs, yoghurt and parmesan to make a flavourful sauce that cuts your prep time right down.
Some moussaka recipes call for potato to be added to the dish. However omitting this ingredient cuts out another time-consuming part of the prep, making this a quick and easy moussaka recipe.
