Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons cooking oil divided
  • 2 medium eggplants sliced into thin rounds
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons minced moringa leaves
  • 1 small tomato sliced into rounds
  • 1-2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Instructions

Prepare the Egg Mixture

  • In a bowl, beat 2 large eggs.
  • Add salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and whole wheat flour. Stir until smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
  • Slice the eggplants into thin round pieces.

Cook the Eggplant

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat
  • Place the eggplant slices side by side in a single layer. Cook until soft and lightly browned on both sides. This takes about 5 to 7 minutes total.

Add the Egg Mixture.

  • Lower the heat slightly. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the eggplants, covering the entire pan.
  • Sprinkle minced moringa leaves over the top. Arrange tomato slices on top and sprinkle sesame seeds.
  • Cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden and the top begins to set. This takes about 3 to 4 minutes.

Flip the Omelette

  • Place a large plate over the pan. Carefully flip the omelette onto the plate.
  • Add the remaining 1 tbsp oil to the pan if needed. Slide the omelette back into the pan to cook the other side.
  • Cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until golden and fully set. Then, turn off the heat.

Serve

  • Slice and serve hot with steamed rice or enjoy on its own.

Notes

  • Slice the eggplant evenly so it cooks at the same rate.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan.
  • If you prefer a crispier texture, cook slightly longer on each side.
  • Moringa leaves add extra nutrients but are optional.
