Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Sujuk — Make sure to cook the sujuk until it is crispy to enhance its flavor and texture.
  • Cevapi — Grill the cevapi over medium heat to ensure they are cooked evenly and remain juicy.
  • Ajvar — Use a high-quality ajvar for the best flavor. You can find it in specialty stores or make your own.

Tips & Tricks

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes to the sujuk while cooking.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, such as Bosnian somun or pita, to add an authentic touch to the dish.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, you can substitute the sujuk with regular sausage.
  • Serve the Bosnian-style English Breakfast with a side of yogurt or sour cream for a creamy element.
