Take a trip to a South African farmhouse kitchen, and find this delectable Traditional South African Farmhouse Breakfast. This meal is made up of only the best breakfast foods- it is truly all the savoury food that you could ever ask for for breakfast! And with so many options, there will be something for everyone to enjoy!
This farmhouse breakfast consists of lamb chops, steak, bacon, boerewors (or beef/pork sausages for the non-South Africans), cheese grillers, eggs, baked beans, mushrooms, sliced tomatoes, and toast with cheese and jam. Although this breakfast is a bit of a no-go for the vegetarians and vegans, you can always offer soya or plant based sausages, as well as plant-based patties, and add some more variety to your options of beans.
This meal is a huge one, and might feel like a marathon to prepare, but what is great about it is that, since it is a large one serving 6, this meal is perfect for families and friends. So, why not include all of your people in the cooking experience and spread the work out evenly! This will make the cooking a tad bit easier and also far more enjoyable! There are a lot of steps to this meal, however it takes under an hour to prepare, and the steps are not complicated at all!
This breakfast is also nutritional, with loads of protein coming from all the meat, the eggs, and the baked beans! There are also some veggies such as the mushrooms and tomatoes. We really don’t see what is not to love with this breakfast!
