Mushroom Braai Broodjies
Makes 2
Ingredients
2 Portabello mushrooms
olive oil
sea salt
black pepper
4 slices sourdough bread
4 tbsp butter, room temperature
3 slices mozzarella cheese
1 ripe tomato, sliced
½ red onion, sliced
3 slices aged cheddar cheese
Method
1 Prepare your braai and allow the coals or wood to burn down until the heat is very gentle, or preheat a gas braai on low heat.
2 Sprinkle the Portabello mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill them on the braai until tender. Allow them to rest and then slice.
3 Spread two slices of sourdough with softened butter and flip onto a baking tray.
4 Assemble the braai broodjies beginning with the mozzarella slices. Next a layer of tomato slices. Season them well. Add a few pieces of red onion and spread them out so every bite is even. Arrange the sliced mushrooms across the sandwiches. Finish with a layer of cheddar.
5 Top each broodjie with the other piece of sourdough and butter the outside generously.
6 Braai over a low heat until the bread gets nice and crispy and the cheese melts, carefully turning once. When the broodjies are golden brown, remove from the braai, slice and serve immediately.
