Ze Bouyi Fig Mi (Boiled Egg with Banana Fig)

The average Haitian citizen's daily breakfast is ze bouyi fig mi, or boiled egg with banana fig. Despite the fact that it is inexpensive and simple to prepare, most Haitians do not cook it themselves.

Every morning, vendors selling ze bouyi fig mi can be found in abundance throughout the suburbs, with one on almost every street or street corner. They usually boil the eggs at home and transport them in a bucket with the bananas and figs.

The dish is served by splitting the boiled egg in half. They season the eggs with salt and, depending on the customer's preferences, can top the dish with a generous dollop of hot sauce. Boiling eggs and banana figs are eaten together, resulting in a divine fusion of sweet and savory flavors.
