Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your stovetop grill or skillet over medium heat. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the eggplant slices and grill for about 10 to 15 minutes per side.
  2. In a separate skillet, add canola oil and sauté minced garlic and chopped shallots until fragrant and translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  3. Add ground pork to the skillet and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes until browned and no pink remains.
  4. Stir in chopped red bell pepper, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  5. Peel the skin off the grilled eggplants and mash with one beaten egg in a mixing bowl. Fold in the pork mixture.
  6. Heat canola or vegetable oil in a clean skillet and pour half the eggplant mixture. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  7. Repeat with the remaining mixture to create a second omelette. Serve warm with steamed rice and fresh vegetables.
