30 Incredible Balkan Foods That Will Make You Hungry #9 Musaka

Everyone seems to make and spell musaka (mousakka) slightly differently. Traditional Greek Mousakka is a casserole dish made with ground beef, eggplants, and eggs topped with a tomato sauce seasoned with that traditional nutmeg flavor. However, traditional Balkan musaka replaced the eggplants with potatoes. Also, some regions use cheese instead of any type of tomato sauce.

You’ll definitely find musaka in restaurants throughout Greece, Turkey, and maybe Bulgaria. However, musaka is best when it is homemade.
