Braaibroodjie

Salads, Dips, Sandwiches and Fermented Cold Dishes

Braaibroodjie, also called Kaapse broodjie, is a toasted sandwich of bread, cheese, tomato and onion found in the cuisines of South Africa and Namibia. It is closely associated with South Africa's braai culture, in which food is prepared publicly over an open fire, and it is considered a staple of any braai. The cheese, tomato and onion are placed between two slices of bread, which is then cooked on a grill over hot coals or in a sandwich press, and turned until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has fully melted. Some versions add chili or garlic butter. It can be eaten as a snack or served as a main course.
