I often buy hot cross buns, occasionally raisin loaf and on some occasions it just gets thrown out eventually. Sometimes I remember and make Biscotti, a poor mans alternative to "lekker" rusks, or I make bread pudding or Irish Tea Loaf. Today, I found a forgotten raisin loaf in the fridge, and it was still okay with no mould or rancid smells so I shredded it and poured boiling and strong Rooibos tea over. I added sultanas and coconut and sugar, mixed spice, 2 eggs and mixed in all together. Its delicious, I have baked 1 loaf for eating and the second lot in a shallow tray which will be baked and turned into Biscotti rusks. Here is a recipe for those who prefer not to waste food.

All you lucky Avo tree owners, don't let the Avos go vrot... use them...

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.
