These Gourmet Jaffles put a modern spin on a much-loved South African braai and camping classic. Made with crispy golden bread and three delicious fillings, Gourmet Jaffles 3 Ways are easy to prepare and perfect for cooking over the fire. From savoury combinations to creative twists, jaffles are a simple way to turn everyday ingredients into a satisfying meal to share around the braai.
For the best results, use a well-heated jaffle iron and cook the sandwiches until the bread is golden and crisp. Keep the filling balanced and avoid overfilling, as this helps the jaffle seal properly and cook evenly. Serve hot while the bread is crisp and the fillings are warm.

Prepare the fire and scrape the coals together to cook the jaffles over a medium-high heat.
Place the ingredients into individual sandwiches.
You will need to cook each sandwich individually by placing each one into the jaffle iron. Close off the iron and remove the excess bread from the sides.
Cook over the coals for at least 8-10 minutes a side until golden brown.
Make sure to check the bread by opening the iron in between cooking to make sure it is not cooking too quickly or burning.
Once the jaffle has toasted, serve immediately to enjoy them while warm and cheesy.
