Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have broken down and the jam has thickened. Remove from heat and store in a clean glass jar with a lid. To Assemble Gently rework the burger patty meat to form 4 patties. Braai over the fire or cook directly on the grid. Build the breakfast burgers by adding a beef patty to the base of a toasted English muffin, add rashers of bacon, an egg and a slice of cheese to each. Top with a tablespoon or two of tomato and onion jam and place the top of the muffin on top. Enjoy. 🔥 Pro Tip: It's the tomato and onion relish that makes this breakfast brunch burger tastes amazing. Dont use any other relish but your own home made one. 🌿 Perfect For: Traditional South African cuisine lovers Outdoor cooking & camping trips Outdoor braai enthusiasts #SouthAfricanFood #braai #outdoorcooking #traditionalrecipes #SouthAfricanBraai #outdoorcooking #braairecipes #bushcooking Music: Music track: The Basics by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Royalty Free Music for Videos (Safe) Music track: Beach Slam by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Royalty Free Music for Video (Safe) Music track: Next Time by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free To Use Music for Video Music track: True by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free No Copyright Music Download Music track: Once Again by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music Background Music for Video (Free) Music track: Lets Talk by Moavii Source: https://freetouse.com/music No Copyright Background Music Music track: Mood by Sunova Source: https://freetouse.com/music Royalty Free Music (Free Download) Music track: Forgiveness by Epic Spectrum Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free Music Without Copyright (Safe) Music track: Morning Light by Epic Spectrum Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free Vlog Music Without Copyright Music track: Dawn by Alegend Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free Background Music for Videos Music track: Destiny by Alegend Source: https://freetouse.com/music Free Background Music (No Copyright) Music track: Majestic by Alegend Source: https://freetouse.com/music Music for Videos (Free Download)
