Crumble eggs with aubergine in pecorino sauce

Eggs  take a lead role in the most part of my recipes.
Eggs  are so versatile, tasty, natural, rich of proteins, vitamins A, B, E and  mineral salt and are so beautiful!
Of course there are many kind of eggs: different sizes, different colours, different tastes, depending on the chicken type and diet (we are what we eat..)
The best it would be to use fresh eggs of your area free-range chicken, of which you know the quality, otherwise you should  look at the symbol on your eggs box to be sure you are buying first category eggs.
The Italian  Chef who amaze me with his eggs recipes is Carlo Cracco.
In particular one of his “1000”  ways of cooking eggs  is my favourite: simple, yummy, gorgeous, and surprising.
I use it in my following recipe. Hope you like!
