Braai Broodjie {Barbecued Bread}



Very popular among the South African crowd at BBQ's... I was first introduced to these over 6 years ago and haven't stopped making them since! Mainly served along side some grilled meat and veggies... these are really filling and delicious! They are also awesome the next day cold {or at least I think so!}. This recipe makes 4 braai broodjie's.


Ingredients:

8 slices of white bread
Aprox. 4 tbsp Mrs. H.S. Ball's Chutney {or apricot jam or softened butter}
1 medium onion- sliced
2 medium tomatoes- sliced
1 1/2 - 2 cups of shredded cheese


Spread chutney {or butter or apricot jam} over one of the slices of bread...


Sprinkle with a little cheese...


Add onion slices then tomato slices and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. {please ignore my sad onion slices... I was finishing off an onion half that I had used for another dish}...




Top with more shredded cheese. {I used a blended cheese here but plain cheddar or sharp cheddar is great too}





 Top with other slice of bread....



Grill over LOW heat, turning frequently until golden brown and cheese is melted. The trick here is very low heat so that the outside doesn't burn before the cheese gets melted. Serve immediately. Yum!

NOTE: Mrs H.S. Ball's Chutney is usually found in international grocery stores or places like World Market because it is imported from South Africa.
