Eggplant-and-Olive Frittata

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup peeled and chopped eggplant
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1/2 (6-oz.) package fresh baby spinach
• 1 (10-oz.) can mild diced tomatoes and green chiles, drained
• 1/2 cup sliced black olives
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 12 large eggs, beaten*
• 1/2 cup crumbled garlic-and-herb feta cheese**

Preparation

1. 1. Preheat oven to 350°. Heat oil in a 10-inch (2-inch-deep) ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté eggplant in hot oil 5 minutes or until tender.
2. 2. Add garlic, and sauté 1 minute. Stir in spinach, and cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute or just until spinach begins to wilt.
3. 3. Add tomatoes and green chiles, olives, salt, and pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Add eggs, and sprinkle with cheese. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, gently lifting edges of frittata with a spatula and tilting pan so uncooked portion flows underneath.
4. 4. Bake at 350° for 12 to 15 minutes or until set and lightly browned. Remove from oven, and let stand 5 minutes. Slide frittata onto a large platter, and cut into 8 wedges.
5. *1 (32-oz.) carton egg substitute may be substituted. Increase bake time to 16 to 18 minutes or until set.
6. **Plain feta cheese may be substituted.
