How to Make Makhouda D Aubergine Crustless Tunisian Eggplant Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Dice 1 large eggplant (about 1 lb) into 1/2-inch cubes. Sprinkle generously with 1 tbsp salt and place in a colander to drain for 20 minutes.
  3. Rinse the eggplant and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels.
  4. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 1 bell pepper (chopped) and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add the eggplant to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and tender, about 20-25 minutes. Transfer to a colander to drain excess oil.
  6. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated Gruyère cheese, and 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.
  7. Stir in the eggplant mixture. Season with 1 tsp bharat spice blend, salt to taste, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, or 1/2 tsp harissa paste).
  8. Grease a 2-quart soufflé dish with butter or cooking spray.
  9. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed in the center.
  11. Let cool for 10 minutes before unmolding onto a serving platter.
  12. Cut into wedges or squares and serve hot or at room temperature with lemon wedges.
