DIRECTIONS

Prepare the Braai

By now you should know the drill. If not, make a fire (in your Braai/BBQ at home or at the campsite), get some beers and look busy.

Disclaimer: Failing to look busy might get you assigned to undesirable tasks.

Fry The Onions and Green Peppers

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion rings and green peppers over medium heat till soft and caramelised.

Prepare the Braaibroodjies

Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Place half the slices buttered side down on a cutting board or bbq grid. Add bacon, onion and green peppers, camembert cheese and Mrs Balls Chutney. Top each sandwich with the other slice of bread with the butter on the outside. The butter will give the toasty a nice golden brown colour.

"Braaing" / Toasting the Braaibroodjies

Add the Braaibroodjies in a grid that can close. The OZ Braai BBQ Basket grid can take 6 Braaibroodjies at a time. Braai over mild coals, regularly turning the grid until both sides of the toasty is golden brown and the cheese melted. Be mindful as it only takes two sips of beer to burn your toasties.

Serve immediately as a side with your Braai'd / BBQ'd meat.
