This dish is a harmonious marriage of charred and peeled eggplant, mixed with beaten eggs, onions, garlic, and a touch of seasoning. Tortang Talong is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a main course alongside steamed rice or as a side dish to complement other Filipino favorites.

It embodies the warmth of home-cooked meals and the joy of shared moments around the dining table. Tortang Talong is a testament to the creativity and resourcefulness of Filipino cuisine, transforming simple ingredients into a dish that captures the hearts and palates of those who savor it. Ingredients 4 large eggplants (talongs) 4 large eggs 1 small onion, finely chopped 2 cloves of garlic, minced Salt and pepper to taste Cooking oil for frying Preparation Preheat your grill or stovetop burner to medium-high heat. Place the eggplants directly on the grill or burner and cook, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and the flesh becomes soft. This process usually takes about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can roast the eggplants in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Remove the eggplants from the heat and let them cool for a few minutes until they are safe to handle. Peel off the charred skin gently, keeping the flesh intact. Set aside. In a bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to incorporate the ingredients. 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. It's a comforting and satisfying dish that will surely bring joy to your taste buds!

Ultra-soft and delicious with an intense purple-yam flavor and melty cheese filling, they’re great for breakfast or anytime snack. Ingredients 3 cups bread flour 1 cup plain flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp salt 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast ¼ cup ube powder 2 eggs 1 can 410g lukewarm evaporated milk 1/2 cup vegetable oil 1 tbsp concentrated ube flavoring cheddar cheese for filling ube halaya for filling 1/2 cup bread crumbs for coating Preparation In a mixing bowl, combine the plain and bread flour. Add the oil, eggs, sugar, warm milk, purple yam, ube flavoring, yeast and salt. With a wooden spoon,or whisk, stir well after each addition until the dough forms a shaggy mass. Add just enough of the remaining flour (you might not use the whole 1/2 cup) to manage stickiness and stir until the dough comes together in the center of the bowl. Lightly grease a kneading board with the oil, and turn the dough out. Lightly grease hands with oil and knead the dough, pushing the dough down and away from your body using the heels of your palms, until it's smooth and elastic but still somewhat tacky. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a kitchen towel. Let rise for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until double in size. Gently deflate the risen dough and form into a log. Cut the log vertically in half and then cut each half into smaller portions. Using the palm of hands, flatten each dough portion and place a piece of cheese or ube halaya filling in the center. Fold the dough around the cheese and form it into a smooth ball, tucking the ends under to seal. Roll the dough in bread crumbs and arrange in a single layer at about 1/2 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover loosely with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for about 30 to 60 minutes or until puffy and have doubled in size. Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for about 20-23 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to slightly cool as the filling will be hot!
