Tortang Talong is a simple yet flavorful Filipino dish made by grilling whole eggplants, peeling off the skin, flattening the flesh, and dipping it in beaten eggs before pan-frying into a golden omelet. Originating in Luzon, it’s commonly served as a budget-friendly everyday meal, especially for breakfast or lunch, paired with rice and a side of banana ketchup or vinegar dip. Its smoky flavor comes from the traditional open-flame grilling method. The dish is widely loved for being both hearty and accessible, often appearing in home kitchens, eateries, and school lunchboxes.
Common variations include ground pork filling (rellenong talong) or meatless versions for vegetarians.
