Take one peeled eggplant and flatten it gently using the back of a fork, spreading the flesh slightly. Dip it into the beaten egg mixture, making sure it is well coated on all sides. Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the eggplant in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Repeat the process with the remaining eggplants. Once cooked, transfer the tortang talong to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve the tortang talong hot as a main dish with steamed rice or as a side dish. It pairs well with a dipping sauce made from vinegar, soy sauce, and chili. Enjoy your homemade tortang talong, filled with the smoky flavors of grilled eggplant and the delightful combination of eggs, onion, and garlic.
