  1. Place onion, garlic, bay leaf, paprika, salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil into a saucepan. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until onions start to soften, about 5 minutes. Add white wine to create the braising liquid. Bring to a simmer.

Directions

Step 1

Lay eggplant slices on paper towels; sprinkle lightly with salt. Let sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Warm olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Fry eggplant until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels; set aside.

Step 3

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in ground beef, onions, and garlic; season with salt and black pepper. Cook and stir until beef is browned, 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 4

Add parsley, fines herbs, cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Pour in tomato sauce and wine; mix well. Simmer for 20 minutes. Allow to cool, then stir in beaten egg.

Step 5

Scald milk in a saucepan over medium heat.

Step 6

At the same time, melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 7

Whisk flour into butter until smooth. Lower heat; gradually pour in scalded milk, whisking constantly until it thickens. Season béchamel sauce with salt and white pepper.

Step 8

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 9

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until cheese is lightly browned and bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 10

Arrange a single layer of eggplant in the prepared baking dish.

Step 11

Cover eggplant with meat sauce, then sprinkle 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese on top. Cover with remaining eggplant and sprinkle another 1/2 cup cheese on top.

Step 12

Pour béchamel sauce on top and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Cover with remaining cheese.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly and browned, about 1 hour.

Conclusion

Enjoy :)
