I'm not sure how to rate this recipe. The eggplant was delicious, but the filling was a bit dry.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could use more spices.

I'm not a big fan of eggplant, but this moussaka was actually really good! The filling was flavorful and the eggplant was cooked perfectly.

The texture of the eggplant wasn't as creamy as I expected. Otherwise, it was good.
