Cheesy Bobotie Jaffles
Jaffles are one of our all-time favourite bazaar foods. Filled with Bobotie mince and melted Ladismith Mozzarella, this toasted treat will remind you why it’s a South African staple.
Before you take one big bite, top with fresh coriander and a dollop of fruit chutney.
This savoury treat celebrates the best of a cheese toastie and curried mince in one delicious snack. Allow the Bobotie mince to cook in a fragrant mix of curry spices, and place aside ‘til ready to assemble. For that crunch factor, spread Ladismith Spreado on the outside of the bread before adding your filling. Sprinkle some Ladismith Mozzarella on the inside, then Bobotie and another handful of cheese, and toast to golden brown perfection. Before you take one big bite, top with fresh coriander and a dollop of fruit chutney.
