Roleza: A savory twist on the traditional rolex, combining chapati with sausage or bacon, eggs, and vegetables. Originating from East Africa, it's a flavorful fusion influenced by diverse culinary traditions.

Ingredients:

- 2 large eggs

- 2 sausages or strips of bacon

- 1 medium-sized chapati (you can make your own or buy pre-made)

- 1/4 cup chopped vegetables (such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes)

- Salt and pepper to taste

- Cooking oil or butter for frying

Instructions:

1. Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat.

2. If you're using sausages, cook them in the skillet until they're browned and cooked through. If you're using bacon, cook it until it's crispy. Remove the cooked sausages or bacon from the skillet and set them aside.

3. In the same skillet, add a little oil or butter if needed. Saute the chopped vegetables until they're tender, about 3-4 minutes.

4. While the vegetables are cooking, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5. Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty side. Let them cook undisturbed for a few seconds until they start to set around the edges.

6. Use a spatula to gently scramble the eggs, incorporating the vegetables as you go. Continue cooking until the eggs are fully cooked but still moist. Remove from heat.

7. Warm up the chapati in the skillet or on a separate pan.

8. Once the chapati is warm, place it on a plate. Lay the cooked sausages or bacon on top of the chapati, followed by the scrambled eggs and vegetables.

9. Carefully roll up the chapati, enclosing the filling inside, to create your Roleza.

10. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Roleza!
