I LOVE food. I LOVE cooking. I LOVE tradition. I LOVE statistics. And I absolutely LOVE a good contest. I adore a good burger. Especially with bacon and avocado. My family on the other hand will tell you that nothing beats my breakfast pizza. Saturday mornings in our home = breakfast pizza time. I often add boerewors to make it proudly South African — because local is lekker. So, burgers for me. What about you?

Pizza! Honestly, who doesn’t love pizza? I once read that “Pizza is not a trend — it’s a way of life.” Empty plates… now that is every mom’s love language. Today I’m sharing my breakfast pizza with you — again — because it’s simply too good not to repeat. It’s quick, easy, uses whatever you have in the fridge, and leaves very few dishes behind. A win for everyone. 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: As long as you have eggs and milk, you’re halfway there. Everything else is optional — leftovers work beautifully. - 6–8 eggs (depending on pan size and hungry mouths) - 100–150 ml milk (same ratio as scrambled eggs) - Oil, butter, or margarine - Cheese (any kind you love) - Salt & pepper - Toppings of your choice — I used bacon, salami, and tomato 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲 1. Beat the eggs and milk together. 2. Heat oil/butter in the same pan you used for your toppings. 3. Pour in the egg mixture. 4. Season with salt and pepper. 5. Cook until the eggs just come together — not fully cooked. This is your “pizza base.” 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 - If using leftovers, no need to cook anything. - If using raw ingredients (like bacon), fry them quickly in the pan first. - Remove and set aside. Don’t be shy — breakfast pizza loves generous toppings. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗶𝘇𝘇𝗮 Once the egg base is ready: - Add your toppings. I layered salami first, then bacon. - Tomato went on only ¼ of the pizza (not everyone in my house loves tomato). - On my quarter, I often add banana — bacon + banana is a match made in heaven. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗔𝗱𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 What is a pizza without cheese? I use cheddar, but you can use mozzarella, gouda, feta, or even blue cheese if you’re feeling fancy. 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲 Pop the pan into the oven for about 10 minutes, or finish it on the stove until: - The egg is fully cooked - The cheese is melted and golden Cut into 8 slices and serve hot. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁 Finish… qeda… qetello… or in Afrikaans: KLAAR! A breakfast pizza that guarantees empty plates and happy faces.

It’s been seven weeks since we got back from our six‑week sprint through South Africa — and somehow the pneumonia I picked up has lasted longer than the entire trip. Only in my life do I manage to out-travel most South Africans and out-suffer my own lungs in the same season. In those six weeks we covered more ground than the average oke does in a year. Every day was another province, another padstal, another “just one more stop” from Fiona — who, despite my protests, refused to let me enjoy a single peaceful moment. I’d be admiring a Karoo sunset and she’d already be halfway to planning the next highlight like a caffeinated tour guide. Now that I can finally breathe again without sounding like a 1970s diesel bakkie, the plan is simple: finish the big projects, get life sorted, and then come back for a slower, deeper, more intentional trip. A Gauteng loop. A Newcastle visit for my daughter and family. A Cape Town reset with my mum and the clan. And then three glorious weeks to reconnect with the country that built me. South Africa still sits in my chest — figuratively, thankfully. The pneumonia has finally moved out. Can’t wait to be back on that soil again.

The swimming event has some stiff competion in the Bay today. 😍🐬
