Eggplant Omelette

One of my favorite vegetables is eggplant. I can eat it any way. In the Philippines when I crave for eggplants, I will just have some sliced and fried and will eat them with vinegar and bagoong isda (vinegar with fish paste) for condiment. Sometimes I just boil it and serve with bagoong again as a combo dish to a fried fish. The most common way that I do with eggplants is to broil them and make eggplant omelette.

salt and pepper to taste
cayenne pepper for kick

1. Broil the eggplants on low for 20 minutes turning once. While still hot, peel off the skin, to make peeling easier than when it has already cool down.
2. Meanwhile saute garlic and onions in oil until soft.
