Ingredients

  • 4 eggplants
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste.
  • ¼ cup oil

Instructions

  • With a knife or fork, prick eggplant. Arrange eggplants in a single layer directly on a gas stovetop over high flame and roast, rotating occasionally with tongs, until slightly softened and skin is evenly charred.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool to touch. Peel the skin and gently rinse under cold, running water to rid of stray skin. With the back of a fork, flatten the eggplants but leaving the stems intact.
  • In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine eggs and salt and pepper to taste. Beat until foamy.
  • Holding by the stem, dip the eggplant in the beaten eggs and quickly slide into the pan. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until golden. Repeat with remaining eggplants.

Notes

Pierce the eggplants a few times with a fork to prevent them from bursting during roasting.
