I found I did get the basis of this recipe from a WP blog Mostly Greek Eggplant Mousskasa , Eggplant Moussaka after a search for eggplant recipes.
The eggplant is my fav meal, and at times better than the chicken or beef or used as a filler with meat. So here we go.

I used ground pork instead of beef

I stuck with the cinnamon spice for the Greek style taste of the tomato sauce

some canned diced tomato for the suace

a bit of melomel replaces the wine
process the tomato sauce
salt and let sit for while to draw out some water, test fit in the baking dish

brush with olive oil, broil till browned, both sides
make the bechamel sauce
into the baking dish

add the tomato sauce

top with the bechamel and some grated parmensan, bake.

after baking, let cool a bit.

excellent flavor the eggplant, tomato sauce and bechamel compliment each other

not overly watery or runny, just right, perhaps a glass of wine and a chunk of fresh bread.
