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!
