Cooking time: 30 minutes

Cost per recipe: Serves 6 for under R150

Ingredients: 

• 6 eggs
• Salt and pepper
• 600 g (4 cups) shredded cooked chicken
• 375 ml (1½ cups) mayonnaise
• 125 ml (½ cup) plain yoghurt
• 6 slices white bread, toasted
• 375 ml (1½ cups) white cheddar

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gently lower 5 of the eggs into the water. Close with a lid and time 6 minutes.
3. 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. Roughly smash or chop the jammy eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Combine ½ of the jammy eggs with the remaining (raw) egg, chicken, mayonnaise and yoghurt.
5. Cut toast in half. Place ⅓ of the toast slices in a 16 cm x 24 cm x 8 cm deep baking dish. Evenly spread out ⅓ of the chicken mayo mixture on top. Sprinkle over ⅓ of the cheddar. Repeat the layers.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn on the grill and bake for about 3 minutes or until browned. Scatter over remaining jammy eggs.
