This easy recipe uses store-bought rolls to make your own cheesy pull-apart bread.
Roll out a tray of these for a footy-watching crowd and you’ll be more popular than Richie scoring a try!
INGREDIENTS
- 12 soft bread rolls – store-bought
(I use small soft white buns or sliders from the local supermarket).
3/4 cup onion jam or relish
300 g shaved ham
1 cup cheese – tasty or whatever
TOPPING
- 3 medium Eggs
50 g melted butter
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp dry English mustard powder
1 cup grated cheese
DIRECTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a baking dish that will fit the buns snugly, with baking paper.
- Split each bun in half horizontally, or do this as a whole unit if they’re all stuck together.
- Dollop each bottom half with onion jam then top with plenty of ham and cheese. Place the tops on and cut a cross in each top so the topping will soak in. Fit the buns into the lined dish so that they’re touching.
- In a bowl whisk together eggs, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, salt and mustard and stir in the cheese. Spoon this mixture over the buns.
- Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the topping is golden and bubbling.
- Serve immediately, with plenty of napkins!
