Take half of the grated Parmesan and the nutmeg and add into the pan. Leave the saucepan on the heat to simmer for around 4-5 minutes before seasoning with salt and pepper.
  9. When removing the saucepan with the white sauce from the heat, quickly add in the beaten egg, stirring thoroughly.
  10. In a large ovenproof dish, add a layer of the minced meat ingredients before covering with a layer of the potatoes and then a layer of the aubergines. Repeat the layer process once again before finishing with a layer of aubergines. Taking the white sauce, pour over the top of the moussaka a thick and even layer before sprinkling with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
  11. Place the completed moussaka into the preheated oven to bake for around 40 minutes or until it has turned an enticing golden brown shade.
