Frittatas That Rock

I made this amazing recipe last night. Tuna frittatas with an eggplant sauce. The frittatas are great and quick to make. The eggplant sauce is EASY. Here's the recipe...


Roasted Eggplant Sauce
1# eggplant
basil (fresh or dried)
water
salt
pepper

Preheat the oven to 350*. Wrap the eggplant individually in aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove from the oven, and cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out the pulp into the bowl of a food processor, and puree. Add the basil leaves and 1 tablespoon of water, season with salt and pepper, and process, adding a drizzle of olive oil in a slow, steady stream until the sauce has a smooth, thick consistency. Adjust the seasonings.


Frittatas
eggs
cream
hard Italian cheese (or seriously sharp cheddar)
salt and pepper
tuna or bacon or whatever
chopped parsley (fresh or dried)
chopped basil (fresh or dried)
oregano (fresh or dried)
scallions chopped
olive oil

Use the number of eggs as suits the number of people you’re cooking for. The other ingredients are best judgment. Mix the whole shooting match up. Should make 4-8 frittatas. Warm olive oil in skillet over low heat. Pour in egg mixture and cook till set then flip and cook till done. Repeat till mixture is used up.
