Ingredients

2 Tablespoons diced onion
1 Tablespoon diced green bell pepper
1 sardine from a can of sardines in oil
⅛ teaspoon white pepper powder
½ teaspoon chicken or beef bouillon powder
2 large eggs
¾ cup cooked spaghetti
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 French baguette for making the sandwich
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise for serving
1 teaspoon African pepper sauce for serving (optional)

Instructions

To a medium mixing bowl, add the diced tomato, onion, green bell pepper, one sardine, white pepper powder, bouillon powder, eggs, and spaghetti.
2 Tablespoons diced tomato, 2 Tablespoons diced onion, 1 Tablespoon diced green bell pepper, 1 sardine, ⅛ teaspoon white pepper powder, ½ teaspoon chicken or beef bouillon powder, 2 large eggs, ¾ cup cooked spaghetti
Use a fork to slightly break the sardine, leaving a few chunks.
Beat the spaghetti egg mixture well with the fork to combine.
Place a medium skillet on medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
Let the oil heat up, then add the spaghetti egg mixture, spreading it out to coat the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low and let it cook covered for about 5 minutes until the egg sets at the bottom.
Flip to the other side and let it cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until the egg is cooked through. The omelette should be a beautiful golden color.
Open up the baguette and spread mayonnaise on one side. If using some African pepper sauce, spread the pepper sauce on the other side.,
1 French baguette, 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon African pepper sauce
Cut the omelette in half or thirds and stuff into the baguette.
Serve immediately. If serving for breakfast, serve with a piping hot cup of hot chocolate.

Notes

Do not cook on high heat, as the omelette will burn at the bottom without cooking through.
The omelette should have a golden brown color but not burnt and the egg should be set on the inside to represent how it is done in Cameroon. Please cook on low heat to achieve these results.
Make ahead: This sandwich is best enjoyed fresh, but you can prepare the omelette ahead and store it in the fridge. When ready to eat, reheat in a skillet before assembling.
