Suya-Spiced Egg and Avocado Toast
Whole-grain toast piled with creamy avocado and soft eggs, finished with a dusting of ground peanut suya spice.
This is breakfast toast with a Nigerian street-food accent. Instead of the usual chili flakes, we dust the eggs and avocado with a homemade yaji blend — ground roasted peanuts, ginger, paprika, and a little cayenne — the same spice mix that makes suya skewers so addictive.
The ground peanuts in the suya spice bring a genuine dose of zinc to the plate, and the eggs contribute selenium, both nutrients often discussed around thyroid health. Because everything here is either toasted, poached, or mashed rather than served raw in bulk, it fits comfortably into a thyroid-conscious morning without asking you to give up flavor.
It comes together in under 20 minutes, which makes it an easy one to reach for on a busy morning, and the peanut crunch on top means it doesn't taste like a “healthy” compromise — it just tastes good.
Ingredients
Most ingredients here are everyday market staples across West Africa. A handful of specialty items may be easiest to find at a local open-air market or an African grocery store if you're elsewhere.
