Luxe Braaibroodjie: The Ultimate Indulgence for Your Braai

Grill the Zucchini:
Light a fire in your OZ Braai Mini Braai or Compact Braai and let it burn down to medium to low coals. Drizzle the zucchini ribbons with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill them over the coals until lightly charred and tender. Remove from the coals and set aside.

At the same time, place a small pan on the grid over the coals and add a splash of olive oil. Fry the sliced onions slowly until they become soft and caramelised, stirring occasionally. Once done, remove both the zucchini and onions from the heat and set aside.

Spread the Chutney:
On the non-oiled side of two slices of bread, spread a generous layer of chutney. This sweet and tangy layer will balance the richness of the cheese and veggies perfectly.

Assemble the Braaibroodjie:
On top of the chutney, start layering. Add a layer of aged cheddar, followed by the smoked mozzarella or provolone. Then scatter the grilled zucchini ribbons, semi-dried tomatoes, and caramelised onions over the cheese. Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves and a pinch of garlic powder over the fillings. Add a generous crack of black pepper for a little heat.

Grill the Braaibroodjie on the Braai:
Close the OZ Braai Travel Braai over the assembled braaibroodjie and grill over medium to low coals for 3-4 minutes on each side until the bread is golden and crispy, and the cheese has melted into a gooey, indulgent filling.

Serve:
Once the braaibroodjies are golden brown and the cheese is oozing, remove them from the coals. Let them rest for a minute before slicing them in half.
