Nigerian Egg Sauce is a simple, savory scramble or omelette-style dish loaded with vegetables. It's a staple breakfast or brunch item, often compared to a heartier, spicier version of scrambled eggs. It's incredibly quick to make and is commonly served with boiled yam, plantain, or bread.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 small bell pepper (any color), chopped
  • 1-2 hot peppers (e.g., habanero or Scotch bonnet), finely chopped (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or palm oil
  • 1 stock cube (e.g., Knorr or Maggi), crushed
  • Salt to taste
  • (Optional) A handful of fresh spinach or kale, chopped

Instructions

  1. Whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt. Chop all your vegetables.
  2. Heat oil in a pan. Cook the onions until soft, then add the tomatoes, bell peppers, and hot peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften.
  3. Stir in a crushed stock cube and salt. Pour the whisked eggs over the vegetables.
  4. Let the eggs cook. You can either gently scramble them or let them set for a firmer, omelette-style sauce. If using greens, stir them in at the end until they wilt. Serve immediately.
