Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggplants
- 3 pieces eggs
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 1 small piece onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional for dipping)
Instructions
Start by roasting the eggplants directly over an open flame or under the broiler in your oven until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. This should take about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally to evenly char all sides.
Once the eggplants are cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin. Keep the stems intact if desired for easier handling. Gently flatten the soft eggplant flesh with a fork, being careful not to tear it completely.
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and beat them well. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, mixing everything thoroughly.
Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Dip one flattened eggplant into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Carefully transfer it to the heated skillet.
Cook the eggplant omelet for 3–4 minutes on one side, or until the eggs are golden brown and set. Flip it gently and cook for another 3–4 minutes on the other side.
Remove the first omelet from the pan and set it aside. Heat the remaining cooking oil and repeat the process for the second eggplant.
Serve the eggplant omelets warm with optional soy sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
