Eggplant And Pepper Frittata

Frittatas are always great for brunch, but they’re also an easy weeknight dinner.

I roasted the vegetables for this frittata, making it easy to prepare.

The flavor combinations are divine and it’s an easy, delicious dish.

Ingredients

  • 7 oz (200 g) red bell pepper
  • 1 eggplant
  • 6 eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) Emmental or Fontina cheese, grated
  • Olive oil
  • Butter

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).

Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and bake until the skins are slightly blackened.

Transfer the peppers to a freezer bag to cool.

Step 2: Grill the eggplant slices with a little olive oil until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 3: Once cooled, peel the peppers, remove the seeds, and cut them into strips.

Step 4: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper.

Add half of the grated Emmental (or Fontina) cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.

Step 5: Heat olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.

Add the grilled eggplant and roasted pepper strips.

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook until the edges begin to set.

Step 6: Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top, then increase the oven temperature to 240°C (464°F).

Bake for 10 minutes, or until the frittata is golden and fully set. Serve warm and enjoy!
