I remember growing up having these toasties on the braai 𤤠they were always such a highlight for me! I think they called âToeBrooidjiesâ ???
Well anyway, I thought Iâd create my version of these on my Cobb but with a killer omelette in between! The real secret is the little mozzarella balls that then melt and give you this melted stringy cheese vibe thatâs too die for!!
