What to do:
1. You may grill the eggplants for 5 minutes or boil the eggplants in a small casserole for 5-7 minutes or until semi-tender.
2. Meanwhile, mix in a bowl the beaten eggs, garlic, onion, salt, sugar, pepper and oregano. Mix well through a fork until bubbles form.
3. When the eggplants are cooked, let cool for 5 minutes or until you can hold them to peel off the skin.
4. Submerged the peeled eggplants into the egg mixture. Using a fork, pierce the eggplants several times so that they absorb some of the egg mixture, for 3-5 minutes. Flatten the eggplants a bit with the back side of the fork.

5. Heat the oil in the pan. Oil is hot and ready if it become transparent and mists comes up from the pan.
6. Fry 2 eggplants at a time. Coat the eggplants with more egg mixture to seal the onion and garlic pieces. Brown each side of the eggplants. Coat more with egg mixture as desired.

Serving Suggestions:
1. As Viand- Arrange the fried eggplants in a flat ceramic plate. You may drizzle some EVOO on top of the aubergine omelette before serving.  You may also use banana catsup or sweet chili as dip.

2. As Sandwich Patty- For a real vegetarian burger, just put a slice of cheddar cheese or shreds of mozzarella cheese on top of the fried eggplant while it's hot. Use a burger bun and garnish with tomato catsup, mayonnaise and coleslaw as desired. If you use a ciabatta bread, first drizzle EVOO onto the sliced bread before putting the fried eggplant and cheese.
