– 5 ml smoked ground paprika
– 15 ml fresh basil, chopped
– Freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
Method
1. Preheat oven to 180ºC/160ºC fan/Gas mark 4.
2. Cut loaf lengthwise horizontally into halves; place on baking sheets.
3. Mix cheeses, onion, garlic, mayonnaise, curry powder, and olives or capers and / or asparagus.
Spread this mixture evenly over bread halves.
4. Sprinkle lightly with paprika, basil and black pepper.
5. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until golden, hot and bubbling.
6. Cut into smaller pieces for ease of eating.
7. On the Braai: cut loaves, fill, place other half on top, wrap in foil and place on moderate grill for
15 – 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted.
Variation:
• Another option is to use goat’s cheese instead of other cheeses; cream the cheese and mix with mayonnaise, etc. For more simple fare, use butter with creamed goat’s cheese; omit other ingredients; spread over bread as above.
