Children love eggs in whatever form prepared, but my kids would always go for poached eggs when they are given options.

Poaching eggs is not a popular method of egg preparation in Nigeria.

Egg recipes mostly prepared by Nigerians are scrambled eggs, fried eggs and vegetable egg curry sauce.

Invariably, Poached eggs recipe is not really a Nigerian popular or well-known recipe.

Generally, Nigerians love eggs and is mostly used in the preparation of Nigerian food recipes such as egg roll, scotch eggs, moi moi rollup, bread, cakes to mention but a few.

There are other methods of making poached eggs, but our bone of contention in this post is preparing it in the Nigerian way, which I also call the Nigerian Style.
