Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Ground lamb or beef - 200 grams
• Eggplant - 1 small, diced
• Red onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Tomato - 1 medium, diced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Feta cheese - 50 grams, crumbled
• Dried oregano - 1 teaspoon
• Cinnamon - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the diced eggplant to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and slightly browned.
4. Stir in the ground lamb or beef, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Add the diced tomato, oregano, cinnamon, salt, and pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until combined. Remove from heat.
5. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Stir in the cooked meat and eggplant mixture, followed by the crumbled feta cheese.
6. Wipe the skillet clean and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Pour the egg mixture back into the skillet and cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into wedges, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.
