Serves 6
Hands-on time: 25 minutes
Hands-off time: 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS
1 tsp salt
1 cup White Star Quick Super Maize Meal
⅔ cup baked beans
1 cup cooked bacon bits
⅔ cup cooked mushrooms
1 cup baby spinach, chopped
1½ cups grated cheese
6 large eggs
½ tsp pepper
Serving suggestion:
Roasted rainbow peppers
Sliced avocado
Chopped parsley
METHOD
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a large baking dish (30x20cm) with non-stick spray.
-
Bring a large pot with 2 cups of water and ½ a teaspoon of salt to the boil. Mix another cup of water with the White Star Quick Super Maize Meal to form a slurry. Gradually add the maize meal paste to the boiling water while stirring using a wooden spoon. Cover the pot with a lid. Bring to the boil and cook on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes. *Chef’s Tip: Keep an eye on it to ensure that the pap does not burn.
-
Spoon the cooked pap into the prepared dish and spread out evenly to form the base.
-
Spoon the baked beans over the pap. Then sprinkle the bacon bits, mushrooms, baby spinach and lastly, the grated cheese evenly over the top. *Chef’s Tip: Feel free to use your favourite breakfast toppings or even leave the bacon out for a vegetarian option!
-
Use the back of a tablespoon to form six indentations in the cheese, and crack an egg into each indent. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and pepper, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked.
-
Allow to cool slightly. Garnish with fresh roasted rainbow peppers, sliced avocado and chopped parsley, before cutting into 6 even portions.Serve and ENJOY!
