The most delicious ‘little shoes’ are made with eggplant (melitzana)!

Today, I am sharing yet another authentic, traditional Greek recipe.

“Papoutsakia” means “little shoes” in Greek, and it is eggplant stuffed with beef mince and topped with bechamel sauce and cheese.

Awesome sauce, right? Tastes just like moussaka sans the potatoes. Enjoy this step-by-step recipe that’s easy to follow and an absolute pleasure to devour 🥰

And, if you think it’s too calorie-dense for you, fret not! At the end of the recipe post, you will find my suggestions for low-calory variations.

No matter how you make papoutsakia, you’re bound to love it, so I hope you’ll choose to try it.
