Fire Roasting the Eggplant
Preheat your grill or oven to a high temperature. Place the whole eggplants directly on the grill or on a baking sheet in the oven. Roast until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft, about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally.

Cooling and Scooping
Remove the roasted eggplants from the heat and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, cut the eggplants in half and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl, discarding the skin.
