Haitian Eggs with Plantains recipe

Equipment

  • Large skillet or frying pan for frying the plantains
  • Medium-sized skillet for cooking the scrambled eggs
  • Cutting board and knife for chopping vegetables
  • Spatula for flipping plantains and stirring eggs
  • Tongs for handling the hot plantains
  • Paper towels for draining excess oil from the plantains

Ingredients

  • 8 Ripe plantains
  • 16 Large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • Optional: Haitian epis or hot sauce, for added flavor
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  • Peel the plantains and cut them into diagonal slices, about 1/2-inch thick.
  • Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the plantain slices in batches until they are golden brown and tender, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain the fried plantains on paper towels and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the onions, bell peppers, scallions, garlic, salt, and pepper. If desired, add a spoonful of Haitian epis or a dash of hot sauce for added flavor.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are set to your desired level of doneness.
  • To serve, divide the fried plantains and scrambled eggs among 8 plates. Enjoy with avocado slices, a green salad, or crusty bread, if desired.
