It contains three layers: slices of saut\u00e9ed eggplant on the bottom; minced beef cooked with red onion, garlic, and sliced tomatoes; seasoned with black pepper, cinnamon, and cloves; and topped with either milk sauce or b\u00e9chamel sauce in the middle. Bake the assembled moussaka until the top begins to brown. Typically, it is served lukewarm.

After cooking each layer independently, the layers are stacked and baked until the tops are golden. Throughout the remainder of the Balkans, the uppermost layer is frequently composed of sauce; this variation made its way to the UK through <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elizabeth_David\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Elizabeth David<\/a>&#8216;s &#8220;Mediterranean Cookery&#8221; book, where it is regarded as the traditional variant.
