Eggplant Olive Frittata
Ingredients
1 small eggplant (rinsed)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
10–12 fresh basil leaves (rinsed)
6 large eggs (or 1 1/2 cups egg substitute)
2 tablespoons light herb/garlic spreadable cheese, divided
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Steps
- Preheat large sauté pan on medium-high 2–3 minutes. Cut ends off eggplant and cut in half lengthwise; slice thinly.
- Place oil in pan; swirl to coat. Add eggplant to pan in single layer; cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until eggplant softens.
- Meanwhile, chop olives coarsely; place in medium bowl. Stack basil leaves, roll tightly, and then slice thinly; add to olives. Whisk in eggs, 1 tablespoon of the cheese, salt, and pepper until blended.
- Pour egg mixture over eggplant; cook 1 minute, without stirring. Cook 1–2 more minutes, tilting pan slightly and using spatula to loosen sides and allow uncooked eggs to reach bottom of pan, or until sides begin to set.
- Place remaining cheese over egg mixture; reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook 5–7 minutes or until frittata is set. Slide frittata out of pan, cut into wedges, and serve.
