When you put an egg on eggplant, you get a veg main course.
Ingredients
Step 1
Prepare grill for medium heat (or heat a grill pan over medium). Toss chiles, garlic, and a large pinch of salt in a small bowl. Let sit until just softened, 8–10 minutes. Stir vinegar and honey into hot sauce.
Step 2
Meanwhile, drizzle eggplants with 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Grill, turning occasionally, until lightly charred and tender, 6–8 minutes. Cut on a diagonal into thick slices; toss in a large bowl with scallions and half of hot sauce, cilantro, and dill. Transfer to a platter.
Step 3
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add eggs; season with salt and pepper. Cook, rotating skillet occasionally, until whites are golden and crisp at the edges and set around the yolk (which should be runny), about 2 minutes. Flip and cook just until yolks begin to set, about 30 seconds. Cut eggs into strips; arrange over eggplants. Drizzle with remaining hot sauce; top with remaining cilantro and dill.

Back to TopMade this dish today, and even though I slightly overcooked my eggplant, it was delicious!

We found this to be a great recipe. At first we were concerned that the ingredients for the sauce were not sufficient for the amount of egg plant. We also used a large Black Beauty eggplant. Neither concern mattered. While the dish was great served hot, with a fresh easy-over egg with runny yolk, the leftovers were even better. After a few days of marinating in the hot sauce, this dish is great served at room temperature as a side. We are already making plans to make it again. Next time we plan to prepare a few days ahead of time (without the egg) to serve at room temperature at a football tailgate party. Bravo.

I first saw this recipe in Bon Appetit Magazine and when I started to prepare the dish I realized that there were somethings missing in the ingredients and the preparation instructions. The amount of hot sauce was not listed in the ingredients so not sure how much hot sauce to use and it didn't tell you what to do with the bowl containing the chiles, garlic & salt. Anyways I did the best I could and tasted the dish after adding the hot sauce for heat level. I did enjoy the dish but wonder what it would taste like if everything was listed. It provides a nice contrast with the acidic flavor of the vinegar and enough sweetness to balance . The eggs was a nice touch and really made the dish.

It was fantastic, even w the subs I had to make. Used a mix of cilantro and thai basi. Had no dill. Used fiery red peppers from the Farmers market. They were extremely hot when raw but were tempered by the vigegar and honey thank goodness. Served w crusty french bread. .
