EGGPLANT OMELET
I usually just make this into scrambled eggs rather than making an actual omelet and filling it. You can adjust the amounts of any of the ingredients up or down as you prefer. I use the really thin, long type of eggplant that is only about an inch in diameter. You can use any type of eggplant you like.

Tips:
To ensure even cooking, ensure the eggplant is sliced into uniformly thin pieces. Thicker slices may result in undercooked centers.
Control the heat and cook the eggplant over medium heat. High heat can burn the eggplant before it has a chance to soften.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggplant and eggs from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, grease the pan with cooking spray or a little butter.
Be patient when cooking the eggplant. It takes a few minutes for the eggplant to soften and brown. Rushing the process will result in raw eggplant.
Season the eggplant omelet to your taste. Common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
For a vegetarian version of the omelet, omit the eggs and use crumbled tofu or tempeh instead.
Serve the eggplant omelet immediately, while it is still hot. It can be served with a side of toast, salad, or fruit.

The eggplant omelet with coriander and caraway is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
