Easter 2023: Flavoured Hot Cross Buns Editor Review
I Tried the Supermarket's Weirdest Hot Cross Bun Flavours so You Don’t Have to

Sainsbury's Cheese, Tomato, and Oregano Hot Cross Buns (£1.50 for pack of four)
In perhaps one of the more extreme departures from the traditional hot cross bun sits Sainsbury's Cheese, Tomato & Oregano option. Luckily, I'm quite the cheese lover, and will find literally any excuse under the sun to include the good stuff in my meals. These savoury hot cross buns, made with mature Cheddar cheese, sundried tomato paste, red Leicester cheese, and oregano, certainly fit the bill.
What I liked: These little beauties single-handedly transported me back to pizza scrolls from my primary school days, and I'm not complaining. They smell absolutely amazing, and all three of the flavours combined really work.
What I didn't like: They are a touch on the crumbly side, which meant that spreading butter was a slightly painstaking task. If you're a cheese lover like me, you might find that the tomato slightly overpowers the cheese element, but they still pack a punch for those who prefer a savoury treat.
