Is there anything nicer than a grilled cheese sandwich? I don’t think so!!! It is so simple – just bread and cheese but it is SO delicious. Making your grilled cheese on the braai just takes it up a level.
If you have kids then making piles of braai broodjies is a must – it is also pretty much the only thing my kids will eat at a braai! This recipe isn’t ideal for kids as the chakalaka is a little spicy but is definitely a great option for the adults.
Chakalaka and Cheddar Cheese Braai Broodjies
Ingredients
- 1 400g can Rhodes Quality Mild & Spicy Chakalaka

This sounds different and tasty. I like to try different food especially ones with a bit of spice. This sounds delicious.
I’ve never heard of Chakalaka before, so I had to look it up. I used to love tomato soup with my grilled cheese, so it looks like this would just be a step up from that, which is awesome! My boys love grilled cheese so I’ll have to try this with them next time.

I love the sound of this- sounds really comforting! I’d admittedly never heard of this before so had to look it up and I just get so fascinated by looking at and learning about food!
To this day, nothing beats a good grilled cheese and it’s such a versatile sandwich you can get really creative with it. This looks so yummy! The crispier the better!
Anything to up the anti of a grilled cheese is good with me as grilled cheese is elite level food x
I have never heard of braai broodjies before, but this sounds like a complete level up from a plain grilled cheese sandwich. I am definitely going to have to try this out for myself.
