Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp palm oil
  • 1 tsp ground chile pepper
  • ½ medium onion, chopped
  • 1 Maggi cube, crushed
  • Salt, to taste
  • 2 eggs

Directions

  1. Heat palm oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the chile pepper, chopped onion, crushed Maggi cube, and salt. Stir and cook for 2–3 minutes.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Pour into the pan and stir gently to scramble.
  4. Cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until eggs are fully set but still moist.
  5. Serve with boiled yam, cocoyam, or potatoes.

Notes

You can add chopped tomatoes or bell peppers for extra flavor and color.

Vegetable oil can be substituted for palm oil, though it changes the flavor.

Adjust chile pepper amount to suit your spice tolerance.
