EGGPLANT OMELET



Eggplant Omelet image

I usually just make this into scrambled eggs rather than making an actual omelet and filling it. You can adjust the amounts of any of the ingredients up or down as you prefer. I use the really thin, long type of eggplant that is only about an inch in diameter. You can use any type of eggplant you like.

EGGPLANT OMELET (TORTANG TALONG)



Eggplant Omelet (Tortang Talong) image

Torta is "omelet" and talong is "eggplant," but this Filipino dish is more like an egg-battered cutlet eaten for breakfast or lunch.

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 large Asian eggplants (about 1/3 pound/155 g each)
2 extra-large eggs
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons picked cooked crabmeat (optional)
Fish sauce, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Lay the eggplants in a single layer on a baking sheet and broil them, flipping once or twice, until they are soft and blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. (If you have a gas stove, you can do this by holding the eggplants with tongs over a burner on medium-high heat, turning them so they blacken on all sides.)
  • Place the softened eggplants in a ziplock bag. Set aside for 10 minutes to steam (this makes the skin easier to peel). Peel the eggplants, discarding the skins, and use a fork to gently flatten the flesh.
  • Put the eggs in a shallow bowl. Beat well and season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Dip each eggplant in the beaten eggs, letting it soak for a second or two so that it is well covered with the egg. Season the egg-dipped eggplant with additional salt and pepper and place it in the skillet. Repeat with the other eggplant, making sure there's room between them in the skillet. Place 1 tablespoon of the crab (if using) on top of each eggplant, pressing it down with a fork.
  • When the eggplants are crispy and browned on one side, 4 to 5 minutes, flip them over and cook until browned and crispy on the second side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the eggplants to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve hot or at room temperature, with fish sauce.
