Waiting for a cook
Kenya
Toast mayai, "bread eggs", is the Kenyan breakfast of sliced bread dipped in beaten egg and fried, eaten with a mug of chai. It is French toast in method, but the everyday Kenyan version is savoury rather than sweet: the egg is mixed with chopped onion, tomato, green pepper, black pepper and salt, and sometimes coriander or a little ham or beef brawn, so each slice carries a thin omelette on both faces. A sweeter version with milk, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon is common too.
The draft was written from 2 published sources and holds 16 ingredients and 7 steps. It has never been cooked by anybody at AFN, which is why it is waiting.
