🥣 About This African Breakfast
Pap, also known as Maize Meal or Cornmeal Porridge, is a staple across many African countries including South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. It’s smooth, creamy, and lightly sweet — a perfect base for both savory and sweet toppings. In this version, we pair it with crispy fried eggs and colorful sautéed vegetables, bringing a balance of texture and taste that’s both nourishing and deeply satisfying.
This dish represents the simplicity of African cuisine: local ingredients, vibrant colors, and a connection to home. Whether served in a modern hotel kitchen or a small village home, this meal embodies comfort, community, and creativity.
