Airfryer Filipino Style Tortang Talong (Eggplant Omelet)
Author: Neliza Ly
Ingredients
3 regular-sized Chinese eggplants
3 XL eggs
¼ cup whole milk
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. ground black pepper
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Prepare the egg mixture: In a bowl, add the eggs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, soy sauce, melted butter, and milk. Whisk until all ingredients are fully combined, then set aside.
Cook the eggplants: Poke holes all over the eggplants using a fork. Place them inside the Breville Smart Oven Air and broil on High for 20 minutes (turning halfway through until the skin is charred) or Air Fry for 25 minutes.
Peel and mash: Let the eggplants cool for 2 minutes. Peel off the skin and gently mash the eggplants with a fork to flatten them.
Assemble: Grease a baking dish or pie pan that fits inside your air fryer (a 9-inch pie pan works well). Place the eggplants inside the pan and pour the egg mixture evenly over the top.
Air fry: Set the Breville Smart Oven Air to the Air Fry setting. Air fry the eggplant omelet at 400°F for 20 minutes.
Serve: Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
Traditional Method: Tortang Talong is traditionally made by grilling the eggplants over an open flame and deep-frying them in plenty of oil.
Flavor Adjustments: For traditional deep-fried Tortang Talong, fresh garlic is typically used instead of garlic powder, and milk is omitted.
Air Fryer Twist: When using an air fryer, adding milk and melted butter helps keep the egg mixture rich, tender, and moist without needing excess oil.
