Madmax for Breakfast

Did you think eating spicy for breakfast was forbidden? Think again. A Mediterranean-style toast loaded with cured meat, feta and tomato, finished with a swirl of Madmax.

  • Prep5 min
  • Cook2 min
  • Serves1
  • Heat🌶️🌶️

Ingredients

  • 1 thick slice of sourdough or country bread
  • 4 slices chorizo or mortadella
  • 2 ripe tomato slices
  • 30 g feta cheese, crumbled
  • A pinch of dried oregano
  • A handful of crisp lettuce
  • 1–2 tsp Madmax spicy oil

Steps

  1. Toast the bread until golden and crisp on the edges.
  2. Layer chorizo or mortadella over the warm toast so the fat starts to melt.
  3. Add tomato slices, then scatter crumbled feta and a pinch of oregano.
  4. Top with lettuce for freshness and crunch.
  5. Finish with a generous swirl of Madmax. Eat immediately.

Tip: Swap chorizo for prosciutto and add a soft-boiled egg for a weekend upgrade.

  • Serves4
  • Heat🌶️🌶️

Ingredients

  • 1 lasagna from the deli

BBQ pizza pique pique chique with burrata

Main · BBQ

Pizza Pique Pique Chique

Stolen from a brother-in-law. Yes, it's that good. A BBQ pizza with two secrets: sun-dried tomato paste and a final drizzle of Madmax.

  • Prep15 min
  • Cook10 min
  • Serves2
  • Heat🌶️🌶️🌶️

Ingredients

  • 1 ball fresh pizza dough (a good bakery is worth it)
  • Flour, for dusting
  • 3 tbsp basic tomato sauce (with basil)
  • 2 tbsp sun-dried tomato paste (secret n°1)
  • 100 g grated mozzarella
  • 4 slices parma ham
  • 1 ball burrata
  • Handful cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Handful fresh arugula
  • Madmax spicy oil (secret n°2)

Steps

  1. Fire up the BBQ — a Big Green Egg is ideal — and bring it to 250 °C.
  2. Dust a wooden pizza peel with flour. Flatten the dough by rolling from the centre outward.
  3. Spread the basic tomato sauce, then a thin layer of sun-dried tomato paste.
  4. Scatter grated mozzarella, then lay the parma ham on top.
  5. Bake in the covered BBQ until the crust is charred at the edges and the cheese bubbles, about 6–8 minutes.
  6. Off the heat, tear burrata over the pizza and scatter cherry tomatoes and arugula.
  7. Finish with a generous drizzle of Madmax. Slice and serve immediately.

Tip: No BBQ? Use a pizza stone in the oven at maximum temperature.
