Are Plantain Fritatas a part of your breakfast menu in Nigeria? No? You have to make it a thing. Its so easy to make and you can always modify the recipe to fit your taste. Sometimes I add sausages, chicken or even shrimp to my plantain fritatas to give me a wholesome meal. If you have been following my blog for sometime, you know plantain holds a special place in my heart. I love the versatility it brings. You can have plantain for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You can also make appetizers, entrees and desserts from it. It is such a versatile food item.
Other countries around the world enjoy plantains and make creative dishes as much as we Nigerians do and sometimes even more creative than we are with our plantain dishes. If you haven’t downloaded my free plantain e-book, it’s still available for download here.
For my frittatas, I decided to leave out cheese as many people are looking for dairy free diets. If you are not one of those people, you may add some cheddar cheese to your frittata.
Enjoy the Plantain Fritatas Recipe and hope you make it for breakfast soon.
Recipe for Plantain Fritatas
Ingredients (Serves 1)
½ Plantain Finger
1 egg
½ tomato
½ pepper
Handful of chopped Onions
Handful of chopped Vegetables of your choice
1 tablespoon of oil
Seasoning Cubes
Method
Grease your pan and line it with your sliced plantain.
Chop your vegetables; fill the pan with the vegetables and sprinkle seasoning over the vegetables
Cover the vegetables with the remaining plantain. (If you would like to add cheese, this would be the step to incorporate that)
Whisk your egg and pour over the plantain and vegetables and place in the oven to bake on low heat about 325F for 10-15 minutes.
Serve your plantain fritatas hot!
P:S – If you do not have an oven, you may need to pre-fry your plantain and when you layer the rest of the food items, you should cook on very low heat and cover the pan.
