If pairing cured meats with a sweet fruit bun sounds a bit ‘weird’ to you, prepare to be converted! The magic here lies in the ultimate sweet and salty contrast. The warm spices and sweet bursts of fruit in the hot cross bun pair perfectly with the salty, umami-rich prosciutto, sharp parmesan and mild, creamy mozzarella, creating an incredibly addictive, gooey toastie that hits every flavour note.
You’ll need a sandwich press for this recipe (or see recipe notes).
Ingredients (5)
- 4 hot cross buns, halved horizontally
- 4 thin slices prosciutto
- 1/3 cup (25g) finely grated parmesan
- 100g mozzarella, thinly sliced
- Softened butter, to brush
Don't forget you can add these ingredients to your Woolworths shopping list.
