Tips:

  • Choose the right eggplant. Look for small to medium-sized eggplants that are firm and heavy for their size. Avoid eggplants that are bruised or have blemishes.
  • Slice the eggplant thinly. This will help it cook evenly. If you slice it too thick, it will take longer to cook and may not cook through in the center.
  • Season the eggplant well. Salt and pepper are essential, but you can also add other herbs and spices, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the eggplant, make sure to leave some space between the slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the eggplant until it is golden brown. This will give it a nice flavor and texture.
  • Drain the eggplant on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
  • Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give your frittata a better flavor and texture.
  • Whisk the eggs well. This will help to create a smooth and even custard.
  • Add your favorite fillings. You can add almost anything you like to your frittata, such as vegetables, cheese, or meat.
