Greek yoghurt to make the sauce sauce image

Traditional Greek dishes like Papoutsakia, Pastitsio, Makaronia tou Fournou, Greek style Lasagna and Moussakas are loved for their comforting flavours, but the béchamel topping can be quite heavy.

This creamy Greek yoghurt sauce is a delicious and healthier alternative.

It provides a golden, velvety finish that’s lighter, tangy, and just as satisfying.

It works beautifully on all the above dishes. With simple ingredients – Greek yoghurt, eggs and a touch of seasoning – it transforms classic recipes into healthier, lighter meals without compromising the taste.
