Now if this isn’t a breakfast for champions, we don’t know what is. A good old proudly South African gatsby doesn’t have to be as plain as meat, slap chips and tomato sauce. Instead, go for eggs and bacon in place of the protein and use baked beans to replace the tomato sauce. And the chips. Well, we just had to make hash browns.
