African Egg balls are a delicious snack. A hard-boiled egg wrapped in a savory dough. Baked until crisp so it becomes a delicious appetizer. Serve with some sweet Chili sauce.
Eggs can be eaten in so many ways, but this is again an incredibly delicious recipe. You can serve it to replace meat at your dinner, or as an appetizer (with a brunch). It's a hard-boiled egg, covered with a flavorful dough which is deep-fried in sunflower oil. And it's just as delicious as you think it is. Enjoy it!
