Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelet)

There are two types of Tortang Talong, a fancy one and a simple one. When I say fancy there are additional ingredients on the meal like ground pork, bell peppers (green & red), onion, tomatoes (which i will post next) some even add cheese but for me nothing beats the simple one Eggplant, Egg and a little love and we're ready to rock and roll. A very simple dish but makes a huge bang in your taste buds.

Ingredients

• 2 Talong/Eggplant (large)
• 2 Eggs (large)
• 6-8 tbsp of Cornstarch (i prefer cornstarch so it gives our torta a good crunch) 
• Salt and Pepper to taste

Procedure w/o Ground Pork

• Eggplant Procedure
• There are two ways to cook the Eggplant (Grilled and Boiled, of course i prefer the grilled one because it gives out extra flavor)
• Grilled
• Grill the Eggplant until all of the skin turns black and you can see they start to peel off
• Let them cool
• Remove the burnt skins, set aside
• Boiled
• Boil the eggplant until cooked
• Let them cool
• Remove the Skin, set aside
• Gently Mash the Eggplant until it gets flatten and look out for its thickness (about 1/2 cm) do not over mash.
• Egg Procedure
• Beat the eggs in one container and put in salt and pepper
• In a large plate put the cornstarch
• Soak the eggplant on the egg mixture
• After the eggplant is covered with the egg mixture drench it on the cornstarch
• Fry for about 4-6 mins or until it turns brown and crispy.

*NOTE: Best eaten with Ketchup. Enjoy! :D
