Eggplant Papoutsakia

If eggplant isn't the queen of summer, then who could be? No one! Plump, delicious, with its curves and juicy flesh that becomes tender and delightful when cooked with plenty of olive oil... when I say Queen, I know what I'm talking about.
I love eggplant in every form, whether it's imam, in briam, in pesto, in salad, grilled over charcoal, you name it!
But this dish has something from the past, it takes me back to magical times when good housewives made the house smell wonderful, I don't know why, don't ask me.
So, Papoutsakia number 43, open-toed 🤣.

Steps

About 1 hour
  1. 1

    Cut the eggplants in half, score them crosswise, salt them, and drizzle with olive oil. Arrange them on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 400°F until the flesh is tender, about 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Once baked, remove from the oven and mash the flesh with a fork. Set aside.

  3. 3

    In a pot, add olive oil and the ground beef, breaking it up until it changes color and absorbs the juices. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the grated tomato, salt, paprika, and allspice, cover, and let the meat cook well until only the sauce remains.

  4. 4

    When the meat is ready, place a generous layer of meat sauce over the eggplants. Set aside.

  5. 5

    In a pot, add the flour and butter to make a roux. Add the milk, salt, and allspice, stirring until thickened. Add the lightly beaten egg yolks and stir vigorously to prevent them from cooking. Add 1/4 cup grated cheese and mix well.

  6. 6

    Cover the meat with béchamel, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F until the cheese melts and the béchamel is golden, about 30 minutes.

  7. 7

    Serve with a fresh green salad and a cold beer.
