  Slice the eggplant into 1/2-inch thick rounds and roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly browned.

  While the eggplant roasts, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent.

  Add the ground beef to the skillet, browning it thoroughly while breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula.

  Stir in the tomato puree, cinnamon, oregano, sea salt, and black pepper, then simmer the meat sauce for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.

  In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, and parmesan cheese until the topping is smooth and well combined.

  In a small oven-safe baking dish, layer half of the roasted eggplant, followed by the meat sauce, and then the remaining eggplant rounds.
