Instructions

Wash eggplants. Grill them over charcoal until done – test doneness by poking the skin with a fork. They would also look a bit splintered. Another option is to broil them in the oven at 350° for about 45 minutes.
Beat eggs while adding salt and pepper. Set aside.
Skin the grilled eggplants separately. Gently press the eggplant meat (one at a time) with a fork – just to flatten them – on a plate. Pour beaten eggs onto the beaten eggplants and leave for a minute so that the eggplant takes in the eggs. Fry gently over medium heat.
Repeat with the other 3 eggplants.
