Nigerians loves eating bread. Whether it is soft Agege bread, Homemade or fresh from bakery. They rarely eat these bread alone as they love to pair it with a variety of accompaniments.
Here are list of favourite Nigerian bread combos everyone loves:
1. Bread and Akara
Bread, especially Agege bread popular for its soft, fluffy texture is a perfect match for akara (bean cake). This combo is a popular breakfast choice especially on Saturday mornings after doing all the household chores. This is sometimes enjoyed with a plate of hot sweat pap or tea.
2. Bread and beans
This Nigerian bread combo is also a favorite breakfast choice, especially on morning when you have a full day of activities lined up. Bread and beans also includes Ewa Agoyin (A spicy mashed beans dish) which pairs beautifully well with bread, especially Agege bread. The bread’s softness helps to soak up the rich, peppery sauce, making each bite incredibly flavourful.
3. Bread and Egg
Bread and egg is another combo that is a favourite among Nigerians. This can be in a sandwich form made by frying the eggs with onions, peppers and tomatoes. Then placing the mixture between slices of bread. This combo is not only tasty but also filling, making it a favourite for breakfast or a quick snack.
4. Bread and stew
In many Nigerian homes, leftover stew from dinner often finds a new purpose as a bread companion the next day. Whether it’s tomato stew, chicken stew or fish stew. Dipping bread into a rich, flavourful sauce is a delightful experience. This combo is perfect for a filling breakfast or lunch.
5. Bread and tea
This seems to be the OG of the Nigerian breakfast. Many Nigerians grew up taking bread and tea (which is usually a mixture of chocolate and milk) for breakfast and many have stuck to this.
