Recipes - Let's make a delicious braaibroodjie
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of fresh white or brown bread
- 200g cheddar cheese, thinly sliced
- 1 large tomato, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Butter for spreading on the bread
Instructions:
- Prepare the Braai (Barbecue):
- Start by lighting your braai and allowing the flames to die down, leaving a bed of hot coals. The ideal braai temperature is medium to medium-high heat.
- Assemble the Ingredients:
- Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
- Place a layer of cheddar cheese on four slices of bread.
- Add a layer of thinly sliced tomatoes on top of the cheese.
- Distribute the thinly sliced onions evenly over the tomatoes.
- Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste over the vegetables.
- Construct the Braaibroodjies:
- Top each prepared slice with another slice of bread, creating a sandwich.
- Butter Up:
- Spread a generous amount of butter on the outer sides of each sandwich. This helps create a golden, crispy exterior.
- Grill the Braaibroodjies:
- Place the prepared braaibroodjies on the grill. Allow them to cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the bread is toasted, and the cheese is melted.
- Flip and Grill:
- Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula. The goal is to achieve an even, golden-brown color on both sides.
- Check for Doneness:
- Ensure the cheese has melted completely, and the bread is crisp on the outside.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Remove the braaibroodjies from the grill and let them cool for a minute.
- Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters for easy sharing.
