Preparation time: 20 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Cost per recipe: Serves 4 for under R100

 

Ingredients:

  • 8 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • 30 ml (2 tbsp) mayonnaise
  • 8 small baby gem lettuce leaves
  • 8 slices roma tomato
  • 8 strips crispy streaky bacon, cut in half
  • Ground cumin, to sprinkle

 

Method:

  1. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gently lower the eggs into the water. Bring to a simmer, close with a lid and time 8 minutes.
  2. Remove the eggs from the water and place into ice water for 3 minutes. Crack the eggs all around and peel the shells under running water. Cut the eggs in half lengthwise.
  3. Season the cut sides of the eggs with salt and pepper. Slice a thin layer off 8 of the egg halves so they don’t move around on a plate. Top each with a small dollop of mayonnaise, lettuce (trim to size of egg), tomato and 2 bacon halves.
  4. Close with the remaining eggs to create a sandwich. Secure with skewers. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper.
