What is Eggplant with Minced Meat, Béchamel and Cheese?
Eggplant with Minced Meat, Béchamel and Cheese is a Turkish-style baked dish layered or topped with eggplant, minced meat, a milk-based béchamel and cheese, typically kaşar. Baking softens the eggplant and brings the savoury meat together with a creamy centre and a browned, lightly salty cheese topping.
In Turkey, it is served hot as a filling main, often alongside rice or bulgur and a fresh salad; elsewhere, it also fits easily into a weeknight dinner with greens or crusty bread. The meat contributes protein, while the béchamel and cheese make the dish richer. Pair it with plenty of salad, or use a lighter hand with the sauce and cheese if you prefer.
