1 level teaspoon of cinnamon
2 tbsp GOLDSTEIG butter
2 tbsp flour
400 ml milk
pinch of nutmeg
2 eggs
50 g Parmesan
50 g grated GOLDSTEIG mozzarella

Preparation
Wash the potatoes and cook in boiling water for approx. 15 minutes. Wash the aubergine and cut into slices approx. 1 cm thick. Place on kitchen paper, season lightly with salt and leave to stand for approx. 15 minutes. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic cloves. Dab the aubergine slices with kitchen paper. Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a pan and fry the aubergines in batches, turning until golden brown. Season with pepper. Drain on kitchen paper. Drain the potatoes, rinse, peel and cut into slices approx. 0.5 cm thick. Wash the tomatoes and cut into evenly thick slices.
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and fry the mince in it. Fry the onion and garlic briefly and season with salt and pepper. Wash the oregano, shake dry, chop and add. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, bring everything to the boil and simmer for approx. 5 minutes. Flavour with salt, pepper and cinnamon. For the béchamel sauce, melt the GOLDSTEIG butter and sauté the flour in it. Stir in the milk, bring to the boil and simmer for approx. 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, remove from the heat and whisk the eggs. Stir 4 tbsp of the sauce into the eggs, then stir everything into the remaining sauce. Grease a casserole dish, then alternate layers of potatoes, mince, aubergines and tomato slices. Pour over the béchamel sauce and top with the grated GOLDSTEIG mozzarella cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C O/U or fan oven: 175 °C for approx. 40 minutes until golden brown and enjoy 😋
