100 g nachos
50 g cheddar cheese

Place the nachos in a plate.
Chop the jalapenos and spread them on top of the nachos.
Spread Kudu Spicy Biltong on top, and do the same with the guacamole.
Finally cover it with cream cheese or if you are using packed cheddar, then melt it by putting it 60-90 secs in the microwave.

1-2 chopped mushrooms
2 tsp of home-made tomato sauce
1 roasted pepper
1 egg
1 tsp of extra olive oil
50 g of mozzarella cheese (optional)
clove of garlic (optional)
1/2 onion

INSTRUCTIONS

Remove the pizzetta package or do it yourself.
Chop the mushroom, the roasted pepper and the onion (and the garlic if wanting looking for a more intense flavour).
Spread the tomato sauce on the surface of the pizzetta.
Place the mushroom cuts, the pepper and the onion homogeneously, plus the Kubdu biltong slices. Put some olive oil on top and leave it 5minutes in the oven at 180-220ºC.
Remove the pizzeta and cover it with mozarrella cheese (to make it creamier) and break the egg right in the middle. Leave it in the oven for another 2-3 minutes just until the cheese has melted.
