Tortang Talong is a popular Filipino dish made primarily from eggplant (talong) that is grilled, peeled, and then dipped in an egg batter before being pan-fried. The dish is often filled with a mixture of ground meat (such as pork or beef), tomatoes, onions, and spices, although it can also be made as a vegetarian option.

To prepare Tortang Talong, the eggplants are typically roasted over an open flame or broiled until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. After peeling, the eggplant is flattened and coated with a beaten egg mixture, then cooked in a hot skillet until golden brown. It is commonly served with rice and a side of ketchup or vinegar for dipping. Tortang Talong is enjoyed for its savory flavor and is a staple in many Filipino households.
