This frittata features a medley of sautéed vegetables like zucchini, bell peppers, and eggplant, combined with eggs and baked until fluffy. Served with crispy bruschetta and a perfectly poached egg, it makes for a satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 medium eggplant, diced
- 1 zucchini, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 slices of crusty bread for bruschetta
- 1 cup diced tomatoes for bruschetta
- Fresh basil for garnish
- 4 eggs for poaching
Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant. Add eggplant, zucchini, and bell pepper, cooking until softened.
- Make the Frittata: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook on low heat until the edges begin to set, then transfer to the oven and broil until the top is golden and set.
- Prepare the Bruschetta: Toast the slices of bread until golden. Top with diced tomatoes, salt, pepper, and fresh basil.
- Poach the Eggs: In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide into the water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but yolks remain runny.
- Serve: Slice the frittata and serve alongside bruschetta. Top each slice with a poached egg and garnish with additional basil.
