Ingredients
  

  • 1 large globe eggplant

Notes

  • You don't have to scramble the eggs with the dip; you can fry eggs on the side and put the fried eggs on top of the eggplant dip before serving. 
  • You can bake the eggplant or roast it on a grill. 
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, and then roast the eggplant until soft, about 20-25 minutes. 
  • To peel the eggplant easily after roasting, add the eggplant to a ziplock bag for 10-15 minutes; this will help the peeling process very easy.
