To make egg sauce with sausages, I just chop the sausages, add to the fresh tomatoes and set aside. The egg is cracked and mixed with onion and seasoning sometimes. While frying, the sausages come in the pot after the tomatoes because I don’t want to overcook the sausages (Nigerian hot dogs).
The only time we add sausages to egg sauce is when the kids own the meal. They love sausages, I don’t. When I make for myself, no sausages are added. I make just plain tomato egg sauce (The shrimp in there is optional) or egg sauce with green vegetables. I have tried severally but can’t bring myself to enjoy sausages.
Love how the kids enjoy them but I always taste garlic too strong and then the salt too is strong for me. I don’t regret being unable to enjoy sausages sha. The kids are eating for me.
This serves four.

COOKING DIRECTION
- Add the tomato and onion and let them fry a bit for say a minute.
- Then, add the sausage, stir and leave for 1/2 a minute
- Next, add the whisked egg and cover to boil but not too long because you don’t want burnt egg sauce ( I like my egg sauce a bit burnt).
- Stir and check for taste. Add salt if needed. Feel free to add a little water if you have a large family and the sauce won’t go round.
- Serve with boiled yam like I did here, boiled rice, plantain, potatoes. or any accompaniment of choice.
- Enjoy with friends and family or eat alone and take a nap.
