Braai broodjies are a popular South African snack, typically enjoyed during a braai, which is a barbecue or grill gathering. These sandwiches are made by filling slices of bread with a mixture of cheese, tomato, and onion, then grilling them until golden brown and crispy. The combination of flavors makes them a delicious accompaniment to grilled meats. The name "braai broodjies" translates to "grill sandwiches" in Afrikaans. They are often cooked on a grid over an open flame, allowing the cheese to melt and the bread to become perfectly toasted. This simple yet tasty dish is a favorite at social gatherings and outdoor events.
