Frittata, which translates to “fried” in Italian, is an egg-based classic brunch dish. I have used the ingredients of the Greek popular dish called “Moussakas” to make this frittata.

This is a great recipe to make if you have only a few eggplants, zucchini and potatoes.   Actually, I had some leftover ingredients after making moussakas, which I used for this recipe.

It’s cheap and easy to make not to mention that your leftovers are equally delicious the next day to take to work with you!
