The Nigerian Egg Roll is a popular Nigerian snack made by wrapping an egg in a mass of dough and deep-fried.

This African snack is a healthy Nigerian delicacy similar to scotch egg, however, instead of sausage meat, the cooked egg is wrapped in flour dough.

It is also not the same as a traditional Chinese egg roll, which is elongated and resembles spring rolls.

We prepare our version of the Nigeria Egg roll precisely as the name says. When finished, the egg roll should resemble a bun on the outside with a cooked egg in the center.”

In West Africa, this egg roll is commonly offered as street food. Tea aficionados, on the other hand, can have this for breakfast. You may also serve it for breakfast with a glass of chilled juice.

How To Make the Best Egg Rolls The ‘Nigerian’ Method

The Nigerian Egg roll, like the Nigerian buns, is deep-fried and very simple to create. However, the preparation of the dough is important to attaining great success in producing this snack;

Steps for Deep-Frying Nigerian Egg Rolls ~ Recipe

• Knead the dough for a few seconds to a minute more before dividing it into six balls.
• Flatten each dough ball on the palm of your hand, place an egg in the center of the flattened dough, and tightly wrap the dough around each egg.

Important Notes on Recipe for Nigerian Egg Roll

• Do not wrap all of the eggs at once unless you are ready to fry them straight away. Only wrap when frying. Otherwise, the dough surrounding the egg will continue to rise. By the time you fry the dough, it will have lost its close fit around the egg.
• Cook the Egg Rolls over medium heat. Cooking the Egg Roll on high heat will prevent it from cooking on the inside. Don’t bother, as long as the oil is not cold, the egg roll will not become soggy.
• Use enough oil to deep fry to achieve the best results. You may also bake this, however, the Egg Roll will not be as soft on the inside as the deep-fried version.
