Eggs – The Perfect Fuel For Growing Teens
Boosting Brains
Good for the body and good for the brain too, eggs have choline, a key nutrient linked to memory, learning, and overall functioning of the nervous system. Choline plays an important role in brain development and helps with focus, and brain cell communication. For teens juggling school, sports, and social life, eggs are a clearly a smart choice to help keep their minds sharp and ready to tackle the day.

Scrambling eggs is 1-2-3... easy as egg! 🥚 Create these delicious Scrambled Egg Sausage Rolls with a golden, fluffy filling that's packed with flavour. Perfect for breakfast, lunchboxes or a grab-and-go snack, they're guaranteed to disappear fast. Try the recipe and taste just how egg-ceptional simple can be!

Scrambled Egg Sausage Rolls
Serves 5
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking time: 30 minutes
Cost per recipe: Serves 5 for under R100
Ingredients:
• 6 eggs
• Salt, to season
• 30 ml (2 tbsp) butter or margarine
• 400 g roll puff pastry, defrosted
• 5 thin boerewors strips, cooked
• Tomato sauce, to serve
Method:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Beat together the eggs with a good pinch of salt. Keep aside 60 ml (¼ cup) of the egg (to use as egg wash).
3. Heat butter/margarine in a frying pan on medium low. Add the eggs to the pan and use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to scrape the eggs across the pan for about 3 minutes. When the eggs are softly set with some runny bits left, remove from the heat.
4. Roll the pastry out slightly longer and cut into 5 strips through the width.
5. Add a boerewors strip to each pastry rectangle. Divide the scrambled egg in a line next to the boerewors.
6. Working with one rectangle at a time, bring the sides up and press together to enclose. Place on a baking paper lined tray. Brush the reserved egg wash over the pastry.
7. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and flaky. Serve with tomato sauce.
Variation:
Use smoked viennas instead of boerewors (no frying required).
