September is the start of Spring, and to us, South Africans, that means it’s time to get the braai up and running. With the warmer days, we tend to enjoy spending more time outdoors, soaking up our beautiful summer sun and loving the smells of braaied meat.
We’ve all enjoyed a braai for lunch and dinner, but have you tried Breakfast on the Braai? What a fun way to start the day, with a delicious breakfast cooked on the braai. Rise and Shine, it’s braai time!
Some ideas that you can try cook on your Breakfast Braai is:
- Braai Broodjies
- Scrambled Eggs
- Breakfast Kebabs
- Shakshuka
