Tortang Talong - Filipino Eggplant Omelet

When you have an eggplant sitting around, make an omelet.

It is not much work to do. Wash it and keep the top of the eggplant on. Just stuff the eggplant, with a couple of fork pricks and a little oil on the skin, in an air fryer. Use 200 C for 40 min.

Let the eggplant cool down to be able to touch it. Peel off the skin.

Use the light green part of the green onion to flavour the oil. The green part as topping for later.

Mix the eggs with soy sauce, salt, pepper and toasted sesame seeds. Dip the eggplant in the egg mix. Heat up the oil in a medium sized pan and start with the onion. Add the dipped eggplant and pour the egg mix over it.

Let it cook on medium heat until the egg is set on the underside. Flip it and cook for 3 more min. Serve over some rice and top with green onion and sesame seeds.
