What is Eggplant béchamel meze?
Eggplant béchamel meze is a Turkish-style appetizer of roasted eggplant folded into béchamel, drawing on the preparation known as beğendi. The smoky flesh is usually mashed before being mixed with a smooth sauce made with milk, flour and butter; some versions also include cheese.
Its gentle char and soft, creamy texture make it a natural fit for a Turkish meze spread, where it may be served warm or at room temperature with bread, or alongside grilled food. The eggplant provides a vegetable base, while the béchamel makes the dish richer; a 100 g serving has 2.3 g of fibre and modest protein. For a lighter version, use a thinner sauce and serve it with fresh vegetables or other lighter mezze.
