Most people don’t love eggplant.
I don’t love eggplant.
There are very few ways to make eggplant tasty.
Thankfully, this is one of them.
This is essentially a baba ganoush omelette. If you’re unfamiliar, baba ganoush is a Lebanese roasted eggplant dip. I hate to make such a crude comparison, but it’s essentially eggplant hummus.
And it’s delicious.
To roast the eggplant, slice it in half and score the flesh. Rub with olive oil and salt, and roast at 450F for 30-40 minutes. After it’s cooled, scoop the flesh from the skin and play with some recipes.
This is all about the filling. Make the physical omelette in any style you like.
Amounts are not exact, just suggestions. These recipes are general guidelines roughly aimed towards single egg, individual portions unless otherwise mentioned. Adjust as necessary. Play around. Have fun.
Season everything to taste with salt and pepper.
