Braai leftovers? Just add eggs: Grab-and-go bowl

Leftover braai items like boerewors, potatoes and vegetables can be repurposed into a convenient grab-and-go meal using eggs. Eggs provide a protein boost and can be prepared in various ways, such as fried, scrambled or added to an omelette. A single egg contains roughly 7g of protein. Storing them in the fridge allows for versatility in meal preparation.

Refrigerating leftovers within two to three days and reheating until thoroughly cooked is recommended to avoid waste. This simple bowl combines scrambled eggs with potatoes, boerewors and cheddar. To prepare, cook halved baby potatoes or leftover baked potatoes until tender. Slice or fry leftover boerewors, setting it aside once browned.

Layer cooked potatoes and onion in a pan, followed by sliced boerewors. Brown the potato mixture before creating the scrambled eggs with milk and a pinch of salt. Stir the eggs until mostly set, then add the potato mixture, boerewors and grated cheddar to the bowl. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later consumption within three days.

Garnish with parsley if desired. This recipe, courtesy of the South African Poultry Association, requires 15 minutes of prep and 30 minutes of cooking, totaling 45 minutes.
