Makes 8
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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Close with the remaining eggs to create a sandwich. Secure with skewers. Sprinkle with cumin, salt and pepper.
