CHIPS MY EYE - VARIATION



Chips My Eye - Variation image

This is a Tanzania specialty: chips are placed at the bottom of a skillet, then whisked eggs are poured over it and the whole thing is cooked together until it's a solid omelet. My husband taught in Tanzania for a short while, and raved about this dish. I didn't realize how tasty it was until he asked me to make up a large batch of these for his students as part of celebrating International Day at their school. This is a variation that allowed me to make a large amount of omelets in a short period of time. It's not exactly the same, but my husband assured me the taste was very similar and the kids loved it. I garnished the plates with fresh sugar cane and each kid got a cup of mango juice.

Yield 1 omelet, 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 eggs
5 -6 French fries

Steps:

  • Whisk the eggs.
  • Preheat a skillet on medium heat.
  • Pour the whisked eggs in the skillet and swish them around to coat the bottom, just like you're making a regular omelet.
  • When the omelet is nearly completely cooked, put the fries on one side, and fold the omelet over it.
  • Cook for about 10-20 second more, then remove from the skillet onto a plate.
  • Serve with salt, pepper, and ketchup.
