This frittata has the smell of summer, it has a savory flavor and a wonderful aroma.
Actually, as you know, I’m a big fan of frittatas. They make a great healthy meatless meal that can be prepared with minimal effort. Sometimes we all need meals like that, don’t we? Baked frittatas are easy to make and hold well in the refrigerator, and they’re equally good hot, cold or at room temperature.
I had originally contemplated making some eggplant parmigiana, but I was running low on energy and wasn’t in the mood for breading and frying. I wanted something a bit lighter for dinner, so I decided to use my lovely eggplants to make a frittata!
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1.5 lb (700g) eggplants, peeled every other strip and cubed
1 onion, chopped
6 garlic cloves, crushed
2 oz Gruyère cheese, grated
1 tbsp chopped parsley
salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Sprinkle sea salt over eggplant cubes and let them sit in a colander for half an hour. Rinse the eggplants then pat them dry with paper towels.
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a skillet and saute the onion. Add the eggplants cubes and the garlic and let them cook on medium low heat until golden and cooked. Stir them frequently.In a bowl, whisk the eggs with cheese, salt and pepper. Pour in the egg mixture to the cooked eggplants, lifting edges of eggplant so eggs coat bottom of skillet. Cook over low heat covered until set and cooked through. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve!
Frittata aux aubergines
Ingrédients:
8 œufs
700 g d'aubergines, partiellement épluchées puis coupées en dés
1 oignon, haché
6 gousses d;ail, écrasées
50 g de Gruyère râpé
50 g de Gruyère râpé
1 càs de persil haché
sel et poivre selon goût
2 çàs d'huile d'olivesel et poivre selon goût
Versez les dés d'aubergines dans une passoire, saupoudrez de sel et laisser dégorger 30 min. Rincez les dés sous l’eau froide et puis essuyez-les avec du papier absorbant.
Verser l’huile d’olive dans une poêle. A feu doux, y faire revenir l’oignon. Ajouter les dés d’aubergine et l’ail écrasé. Cuire à feu doux jusqu'à ce qu'elles deviennent molles. Ne pas oublier de remuer régulièrement.
Dans un saladier, battez les oeufs avec le fromage, sel, et poivre. Les ajouter dans la poêle, couvrez et poursuivez la cuisson à feu doux. La frittata aux aubergines est cuite lorsqu'elle se détache facilement de la poêle. Parsemez de persil haché et servez aussitôt!

Scrumptious!
