Filed under I love eggs!; Mighty meaty; My recipes; Asian, eggplants, eggs, Filipino, omelet, pork, torta
Ingredients :
250 g. of ground lean pork
1 tbsp. of finely minced garlic
1/2 c. of finely chopped onions
3/4 c. of coarsely chopped tomatoes
1 bell pepper, finely chopped
4 eggs, beaten
1 tbsp. of flour
4-5 talong (eggplants)
salt and pepper
cooking oil
Cooking procedure :
Mix together all the ingredients except the eggplants and the cooking oil.
Cook the eggplants (boil, steam, grill or broil) until soft but not mushy. Peel off the skins, leaving the stems intact. Using a fork, flatten the meat of the eggplants. Divide the pork mixture into as many eggplants you prepared. Place the mixture on the flattened eggplants, patting the meat to make sure it is compact.
Heat a skillet or wok. Add about 2 tbsp. of cooking oil and heat until smoking. Carefully slide one stuffed eggplant onto the hot oil. Cook over medium-high heat, about 5-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Add more cooking oil as you cook a new eggplant.
Serve with catsup.
If you want a really special tortang talong, lay a slice of cheese on the flattened eggplant before adding the pork mixture on top.

Thanks for sharing! Recipe was awesome! I used beef instead of pork and added cheese as recommended. Mabuhay ka!

Hello po… your tortang talong looks good and I want to try it. Tanong lang po, what kind of cheese should I use? Mozzarella, cheddar, colby jack, american, etc? Thanks and more power!
Housekeeper, any cheese without a strong smell. Mozzarella, Monterey Jack, Cheddar and Co-Jack are good choices.
