Hot cross buns

[Shoxfordian]

I have cheese in my hot cross buns and my dh thinks this is very strange. Aibu?

(I know iambu to be eating hot cross buns at all before Easter....)

Please let me know if you also have cheese so I can prove I'm not a weirdo

[Mmmhmmokdear]

I've not tried it but I can see how cheese would be nice in an original hot cross bun actually, it's a bit like cheese on original Soreen. Very tasty.

I’m another fan of cheese in hot crossed buns. You are not alone OP

[happymummy12345]

The only way for me is butter and strawberry jam. I have them open, one side just butter the other side butter and jam. And I only have them cold, never ever toasted

[newtlover]

hmmm my first thought was that cheese + HCB is wrong, but then it can work with fruitcake (if Wensleydale) so maybe worth a go
I can't abide all the messed around HCBs (chocolate and the like) they just aren't HCBs
BUT, may I recommend cheese on marmalade on toast, it really is fantastic

[motherheroic]

Don't see the issue with slicing it in half, slathering it with butter and throwing some thick cut cheese in there.

I only have it plain if I'm greedy and can't be bothered to wait.

Cheese on HCB sounds very reasonable.

I tell you what is also good. Tiny sliver of blue cheese on gingerbread biscuit. Oh yes it is.

Bacon in hot cross buns is the tits. I’ve been told I’m a savage for thinking so.

Cheese in hcb are lovely! Same as in digestives!

Cheese is also nice with malt loaf too.

My old boss used to have sausages in his HXB

Cheese on HCB’s is lovely! Has to be a crumbly Lancashire or Cheshire and not melted either

[muchprefersummer]

Cheese on Hot cross buns is lush, as is cheese with malt loaf, fruit bread, fruit cake and Christmas cake! Mmmmmm!

[Pinkcat231]

@DameDoom Mine too! He put pizza toppings on them the other day don’t try it, it was terrible!!

[YoThePussy]

The Philadelphia with strawberries in it is delicious. Sadly have never seen in the UK.

Have been hoovering HCBs for a few weeks now. Picked up a lovely pack yesterday in Sainsburys, carried them home leaving a trail of anticipatory dribble behind me only to find they are chocolate and caramel. I will eat them however as I don’t like waste but be more careful in future.

Cheers!

DH has been experimenting with the hot cross buns. Thursday evening was toasted and topped with banana and horseradish! A surprising combo which he assures me kind of worked.

Procrastination I will get some maple syrup and try it. That sounds really good thanks.

[TheSassyAssassin]

^ That was for @MiddleClassProblem

[TheSassyAssassin]

No - if cold then literally will spread a little butter on both sides, slap in a slice of extra mature in the middle, et voilà! If toasting will also spread with a little butter first and then add the cheese but I eat it as an open sandwich that way. Honestly, it's really nice and lovely as a lunchtime snack

[Dahlietta]

I’ll tell you what’s delicious, Philadelphia and raspberry jam.

I'm going to have to hide this thread now. I'm finding it too upsetting.

[MiddleClassProblem]

@TheSassyAssassin do you melt the cheese?

Maybe I need to try both ways lol

[Procrastination4]

AtAmber you should try adding maple syrup to that combination! I LOVE pancakes with bacon and maple syrup and a big mug of good coffee to wash it all down.

[AtAmber]

Bacon on a toasted hot cross bun is amazing. It's the mixture of salt and sweet. I've never tried cheese though.

I’ll tell you what’s delicious, Philadelphia and raspberry jam.

I'm eating a chocolate and caramel one

Those ones are as sick and wrong as eating a normal one with cheese

^This wholeheartedly.

[100Birds]

They are lush with cheese in, especially the M&S apple ones!
