Waina from Nigeria

An omelet recipe from the northern states of Nigeria. It is usually served with freshly baked bread or on toast. We ate it with fresh whole grain bread from the bakery at the grocery store.

*******************************************************

*4 eggs
*1 bell pepper, chopped
*1/2 onion, chopped
* butter
*salt & pepper to taste

1. Mix the eggs, peppers & onions in a mixing bowl.

2. Season & stir thoroughly, adding a drop of water if necessary.

3. Heat butter in a frying pan. When hot, pour a ladle full of egg mixture into the butter. Fry until golden & crisp. Remove from pan & drain on paper towels.

4. Continue to fry in this manner using up all the egg mixture. Serve hot on slices of bread or toast.
