Plantain and egg frittata is one of the best breakfast options in West Africa, especially in Nigeria. It is suitable for both children and adults and makes a great meal to prepare ahead of time. It is sometimes called "Nigerian pizza" since it turns out just like it.
Ingredients[edit | edit source]
- Large plantain
- Vegetable oil
- Onion, chopped
- Garlic, minced

Procedure[edit | edit source]
- Peel the plantain and cut into pieces of your desired shape and size.

- Season the onions with salt, stock cube, pepper, thyme, and curry powder. Remove from the heat, and cool slightly.
- Beat the eggs, and mix in onions.
- Heat a skillet, and grease with oil or melted butter. Evenly pour in the egg mixture, then scatter the plantain and pepper strips over top.
