Eggplant Parm for Two
If you love eggplant parmesan but don’t want to commit to a big casserole, this recipe is for you. Inspired by the Filipino dish tortang talong, I used whole roasted eggplants, coated them in panko, and baked them with marinara and cheese for a cozy, individual-sized twist on a classic. It’s quicker, lighter, and just as satisfying—perfect for two, or when you want a smaller batch that still feels special.
Eggplant Omelet with Fish Sauce Dressing
If you’re looking to try something new with eggplant, Tortang Talong—a Filipino eggplant omelette—might be just what you need! Inspired by a recent meal I had at Yang’s Kitchen, and a video my friend Gideon made, I decided to make Tortang Talong at home. While traditional Tortang Talong is served with banana ketchup, I topped mine with a simple tomato, onion, and cilantro salad and tossed with nước chấm dressing. I’m sure even those who aren’t big fans of eggplant will love!
