Hey family, I am really excited to share this recipe with you. Trust me, you’re going to enjoy every bit of the journey to making the perfect Nigerian toast sandwich.
Sandwiches are a popular type of food typically consisting of one or more fillings (such as meats, cheeses, vegetables, and condiments) placed between slices of bread. They come in various forms and can be customized to suit personal preferences.
Common types include the classic BLT (bacon, lettuce, and tomato), the club sandwich, and the iconic peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Sandwiches can be served cold or hot, and they are a versatile and convenient meal option. So let’s get started on our special recipe.
Ingredients for Nigerian Toasted Sandwich
- 6 slices of whole-grain bread (or any bread of choice)
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 5 eggs
- ½ cup chopped onions
- 1 tablespoon of tiny chopped fresh bell pepper (any color; optional)
- ½ teaspoon of seasoning powder or ½ a seasoning cube (or less according to your taste)
- ½ teaspoon of salt (or less according to your taste)
- ¼ black pepper
- A dash of thyme
- A dash of crushed red pepper (optional; for extra spiciness
- 2 teaspoons – 1 tablespoon of olive oil to scramble/fry the eggs
- Plus, one tablespoon of olive oil (to grease the bread); or butter
INSTRUCTIONS
First Scramble The Eggs
Firstly, add some seasoning powder to your cracked eggs. Then, add thyme, a dash of ground red pepper, some black pepper, and salt. Beat the egg and put it aside.
Secondly, sauté each vegetable (onions, tomatoes, garlic, and bell pepper) for 2 minutes in the hot oil as you add them in.
Then add the eggs, and sprinkle the green onions on the eggs.
After that, gently scramble the eggs for 3-4 minutes on low–medium heat until fully cooked and firm.
Finally, scoop scrambled eggs into a clean plate to stop further cooking.
TOASTING
Firstly, turn the sandwich toaster on; lay bread on a cutting board, and then, use a kitchen brush or your hand or oil spray and spread the olive oil on all the sides of the bread.
After that, add a part of the egg to the center of the bread and cover it with another bread. Place in the sandwich toast maker.
Thirdly, make sure the toaster is locked and the switch light is on red.
Immediately the toaster machine changes from red to green, and the sandwich is fully cooked.
Lastly, remove the toast, place it on a clean plate, and serve either by itself, or with fresh fruits, tea, or coffee.
