How to Cook Egg Sauce

Egg sauce is a simple yet delicious dish that pairs well with boiled yam, rice, bread, or plantains. It is quick to prepare and requires only a few basic ingredients. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to cook a flavorful egg sauce.

Ingredients

4 eggs

3 medium-sized tomatoes (chopped)

1 medium onion (chopped)

1 bell pepper (optional, chopped)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

1/2 teaspoon ground pepper (adjust to preference)

1 seasoning cube (optional)

1 clove garlic (minced, optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Wash and chop the tomatoes, onions, and bell pepper.

Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk until smooth.

Step 2: Fry the Vegetables

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat.

Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 2 minutes until they become translucent.

Add the garlic (if using) and stir for a few seconds.

Add the chopped tomatoes and bell pepper. Stir and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the tomatoes soften and the mixture thickens.

Add salt, ground pepper, and the seasoning cube (if using). Stir well.

Step 3: Add the Eggs

Reduce the heat to low and pour the whisked eggs into the pan.

Allow the eggs to set slightly before stirring gently to form soft, scrambled egg chunks.

Stir occasionally to mix the eggs with the tomato sauce while ensuring it doesn’t become too dry.

Cook for 3-5 minutes until the eggs are well combined with the sauce but still moist.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove the egg sauce from the heat.

Serve hot with boiled yam, rice, bread, or fried plantains.

Tips for the Best Egg Sauce

For a richer taste, add a little butter before frying the onions.

If you like a spicier sauce, add more ground pepper or chopped fresh chilies.

You can also add sardines, corned beef, or shredded chicken for extra flavor.
