MOUSSAKA....I found this on the Slimming World Site!
It was lovely

Serves: 4
Syns per serving:
Free on Extra Easy*, Green* and Original*
*Add 6 Syns per serving if not using
reduced fat cheddar cheese as a Healthy Extra ‘a’ choice
Preparation time: 30 minutes
Cooking time: 50 minutes

Ingredients.
2 large aubergines (or 4-5 courgettes if preferred)
Fry Light
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
300g Quorn mince
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
2 tsp cinnamon (or to taste)
2 tsp chilli (or to taste)

For the white sauce
250g fat free natural yogurt or quark
2 large eggs
168g reduced fat Cheddar cheese, grated
Method.
If you have time, salt the aubergines and leave overnight to remove water.
1. Slice the aubergines into 1cm thick discs and pat dry with kitchen roll. Gently fry them in a pan sprayed with Fry Light until brown and the skin begins to crisp, and set aside.

2. Wipe the pan, spray with Fry Light again and cook the onions and garlic gently to soften, then add the Quorn mince, chopped tomatoes, cinnamon and chilli and bring to the boil. After 5 minutes reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

3. Whilst the Quorn mixture is simmering, mix all the ingredients for the white sauce in a bowl until combined and smooth. (If using quark, add tepid water to soften the mixture, but to avoid cooking the egg).

4. Once cooked, layer an oven dish with half the aubergines, top with the mince mixture, add another layer of aubergines, and top with the white sauce. Place in a pre-heated oven (200°C/Gas 6) for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Tip: You can use extra lean lamb or beef mince in place of Quorn mince, if preferred.
If using lamb or beef mince on the Green plan count this as Syns or a Healthy Extra ‘b’ choice.
