Make sure to use an ovenproof skillet because the frittata goes
directly from the stovetop to the oven.

Skip breakfast this morning? Make up for it at dinner. This egg-rich 
frittata is ideal when you're looking for a meal that doesn't entail 
a lot of fuss or expense. It starts on the stovetop, then moves under 
the broiler for a golden brown finish. Let's hear it for second chances.

10 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
2 cups finely chopped peeled eggplant
1 (12 to 13oz) jar roasted red bell peppers,
drained, chopped
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1. Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in medium bowl until well-blended.

2. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet 
over medium heat until hot. Cook and stir eggplant 5 to 8 minutes or 
until tender. Stir in bell peppers.

3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet; heat until hot. Pour egg 
mixture over vegetables. Cook, covered, over medium to low heat 12 to 
15 minutes or until almost set, occasionally lifting edges with spatula 
and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow to bottom of skillet.

4. Heat broiler. Uncover skillet; sprinkle frittata with cheese. Broil 
1 to 2 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges.
