- 1/2 cup green onion chopped
- 1/4 lemon or 1 piece calamansi

- Prepare the eggplant by grilling until it softens. Make sure to flip it once in a while until steam comes out from the cracks of the skin. Remove from the grill. Let It cool down. Peel the skin off.
- Lay a piece of eggplant on a plate. Using a fork, flatten the eggplant by sliding the fork downwards.
- Heat remaining oil in a clean pan.
- While the oil is heating-up, dip a piece of eggplant into the whisked/beaten eggs. Lay it flat on the pan. Scoop a portion of the sautéed sardines and place over the eggplant. Top with chopped green onions. Pour some beaten egg over the toppings. Continue cooking until the bottom turns golden brown.
- Gently flip the eggplant. Continue cooking until the bottom part is completely cooked. Remove from the pan and arrange on a serving plate. Make sure that the part with sardines is facing upwards.
- Serve with rice or your favorite side dish. Share and enjoy!
