To make this Eggplant Moussaka Magic, you will need the following ingredients per serving:
- 1 medium eggplant, sliced into rounds

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced eggplant and potato and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. Pour the béchamel sauce over the top of the moussaka.
Bake the Eggplant Moussaka Magic for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the sauce is bubbly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
