"Eier in 'n nessie"
“Eat your breakfast. It is good for you!”
I can still so clearly hear my mom saying this and if mom tells you something you know not to query her. Mom knows what is best!
It is only when I left home that I realized how important breakfast indeed is. Breakfast gives me the "whooma" I need to start my day.
South Africa and breakfast time! |
|---|
Over the years South Africans adopted the “Western” way of eating breakfast namely bacon and eggs or a good cheese toastie. During the week it is also easy to grab a box of cereals, add milk, and “Bob's your uncle" away you go off to school or work.
On the traditional side there are two items which are LOVED by South Africans and that is pap and rusks.
| Image | Item | Description |
|---|---|---|
 | Pap | Cooked maize meal, similar to porridge or grits. It is eaten with butter, sugar, and milk. |
 | Rusk | Made from wheat flour, baked, and then dried out in the oven. It is eaten by dunking it in a cup of tea of coffee. |
Breakfast time for South African is between 06 – 09 am.
If we eat breakfast after this time we call it “brunch”. It is then also time to add so much more to your breakfast like mushrooms, cheese sausages, and waffles or flapjacks.
Me and breakfast time! |

“Eier in a Nessie” as we call it in my home language, Afrikaans. Translate it means “egg in a nest.” It is by far my favorite breakfast.
It is not only me who loves it but also my family. It tastes good, it is easy and quick to make, and it is also cost-effective.
Ingredients needed:
• 1 slice of bread
• Butter or margarine
• 1 egg
Making it is as easy as reading a comic strip.
I like decorating the top of the “egg in a nest” with a happy smiley face. When my grandchildren visit I will put tomato sauce in a dish for them and then allow them to decorate the nest themselves.
My favorite breakfast is then also served with juice or fresh fruit.
Breakfast is served! |
|---|
There is only one person who makes breakfast in our household and that is me. If I had to wait for hubby we will wait forever.
When my daughter visits I still have to make breakfast. “Mom, you make the best breakfast ever!” Have you heard that one before?
When next you are in the area make sure you stop at us between 07-08 am as that is when breakfast is served. Oh yah, on weekends we sleep late. Best to make it between 08-09 am.
Ps: You can pay me by washing the dishes.

It was a pleasure sharing this. When you try this you can even sprinkle some cheese over he egg when you bake it in the nest.
This was the one way I could get my kids to eat 🍳

Hola mi estimada, sabes que recordé, una escena de una serie donde justamente ese era el desayuno y es en EE. UU y allá es muy popular ese sándwich de huevo. Definitivamente quiero probarlo, se ve crocante y rico. Saludos.

It is delicious especially if you make the "nest" (the bread) crispy as you said and the egg still a bit soft.
You can even add cheese on top of the egg when you fry it.
Super yummy!

Hellos!
Believe me, you will love it and soon you will compete on who can decorate the best.
My grandson once sliced his apple and use it as "hair". Needless to say, he didn't want to eat it as it was too pretty. (•ิ‿•ิ)
Enjoy and have fun!

Hahaha! Your dad is going to make you go hungry if he must read your reply (•ิ‿•ิ)
It is very easy and quick to make especially when you are in a hurry and you don't know what to make OR if you have to do something and you want to keep the kids busy...
Put a egg in the nest in front of them with items they can use to decorate it. They will have and leave you alone.

It's a delicious breakfast modm,
But I probably won't feel full with one piece of toast, maybe 3-4, maybe because I've often eaten heavy meals for breakfast,
I love pap, it can be seen from the delicious ingredients. Hope you are always healthy

happy day friend @patjewell.
That breakfast you prepared is easy, fast and delicious. I also do it here at home, but I scramble several eggs with salt and I open the bread, I put it in and then I heat it crushed in the tosti. with coffee with milk.
I love your breakfast.
the children always say that the mother cooks tasty.
why will it be?

Mom's food (•ิ‿•ิ)
I now live far away from my mom. What I did, before we moved I asked her for her pot in which she cooks her pumpkin.
Today I cooked pumpkin in her pot and send her a photo.
I couldn't help but to miss her so much!
Thank you for the support!
