  • 3 teaspoons salt divided
  • Freshly cracked or ground pepper to taste
For the Toppings:
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 3 large tomatoes cubed
  • 9 medium eggs
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chili flakes (optional)

Equipment

  • Cutting board and knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Cassava - Place the cassabes in a large pot and cover them with water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water. Bring to a boil and cook until the cassava is tender, about 20-30 minutes. Once cooked, drain the cassava and let it cool slightly.
  2. Step 2: Make the Flatbread - Once the cassava is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the cassava until smooth. Gradually add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 teaspoons of salt, mixing until well combined. Form the mixture into flat rounds, about ½-inch thick.
  3. Step 3: Cook the Flatbread - In a frying pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the flatbreads and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Sauté the Vegetables - In the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté the sliced red onion and cubed bell pepper until they are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the cubed tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using.
  5. Step 5: Scramble the Eggs - In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the eggs into the pan with the sautéed vegetables. Stir gently until the eggs are fully cooked and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Assemble Your Breakfast - To serve, place a flatbread on a plate and top it generously with the scrambled egg and vegetable mixture. Sprinkle with minced parsley for a fresh finish.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference.
