Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #88 - Very Cheesy & very Meaty Hot Cross Bun Sandwich
Spicy Hot Cross Buns shout out to me every time I go near the supermarket bakery section - Buy me...buy me... and then when I get home they shout again - Eat me...eat me...
I start buying them as soon as they hit the shelves long before Easter!
Sweet, Spicy, Spongy and Superlicious, toasted with butter melting they are the best!
So I made a Hot Cross Bun Ice Cream Sandwich a couple of weeks ago after some burst water pipe disasters, but today I'm making a very cheesy and very meaty savoury Hot Cross Bun sandwich filled with three kinds of meats; cheesy roll topped with a Bacon cross (which shrunk to my dismay) and filled it with Lettuce, caramelised Onions, Minted Lamb Patty, melted Cheese, Smoked Beef and a local Burger Sauce, Jimmy's Chip & Burger Sauce.
I was the lucky recipient of a sauce and seasoning hamper courtesy of Jimmy's and a real nice Steemian @braaiboy direct translation BBQ Boy :) who hosts #MeatyMondays where he gives away SBI shares plus if you live in South Africa you stand the chance of winning this hamper, so thank you @braaiboy & Jimmy's! The sauces are absolutely smashing!

My cross was an epic failure - I forgot that the Bacon would shrink once cooked, my gorgeous cheesy hot cross bun was left with a little shrunken cross......darn it! But the smell was amazing!
INGREDIENTS
White Bread dough
Grated Cheese
Streaky Bacon rashers sliced thinly
Lettuce
Onions, caramelised
homemade minted Lamb Burger patty
Cheese slices
Smoked Beef
Burger Sauce
Roll bread dough balls in grated strong Cheddar Cheese, make a cross with Bacon rasher - do not stretch bacon like I did as it will shrink!
Bake at 180C for approx 20 min - note how my Bacon cross shrunk!
Make up burger patty with ground Lamb, diced Onion, Spring Onion & fresh Mint and bind with an Egg plus Breadcrumbs or Oats or Almond Flour, the latter Keto friendly.
Sautee sliced onions, then cook Patty in same pan, cook one side, turn and top with a slice of Cheese to melt.
Slice savoury hot cross bun in half, top with Lettuce and Onions.
Place cheese Lamb Patty on top.
Finally top with smoked Beef and Jimmy's burger sauce.
Luscious very cheesy & meaty Hot Cross Bun Sandwich.
A quick look as always for all our busy Steemians.
Hope you enjoyed my sandwich this week, a big shout out to the Manwich maker @jaybird who has been hosting Steemit Sandwich Contest now in Week 88 and to the generous sponsors who pop in and support this contest from time to time. This week two lovely ladies are the sponsors and they are @llfarms and @gringalicious, thank you one and all!

This seems to have turned into a burger of sorts. We often have Hot-Cross Buns throughout the year as breakfast food, but its considered a sweet item here!
It's always been sweet here as well but suddenly this year everyone's making all kinds of Hot Cross buns over here. I prefer the sweet & fruity spicy ones ;)
Thank you for your support & for @chops-support, I do see it and appreciate it @slobberchops :)
Your welcome..., speaking of those buns.. I have some here, just bought ones though ready for breakfast.
I would never have thought of turning hot cross buns into a sandwich they sound and look so cool especially with a lamb patty and even if the cross was not quite what you wanted
I'd like to have a re-run and make a better cross next time but it was still scrumptious, thank you for your feedback @tattoodjay!

I think the crosses looked fine but if that’s a good excuse to make them again then I agree lol 😂

I hope you do, it was really delicious, I used store bought bread dough so it was quite easy!
Thank you for your lovely comments and support @chekohler!
Oh jeezus..smoked beef, streaky bacon... I need and am going to make a manwich right now!
I hope you had your Manwich by now @jaybird ;)
I nearly did a second take on this to get that Bacon cross looking better but stopped myself right in my tracks... Always will be a next time!
I yea i crushed one almost immediately after lol.

YUM... sounds delicious... and perfect time of the year.
Thanks for the shoutout \m/
It was very meaty and very tasty, thanks for your comments and support!
Wow, now you've really made me hungry @lizelle. Not sure which I would eat first...bacon, lamb, cheese or that amazing bun! Tasty-licious! Well done my friend :)
Ah thank you my friend, I'm still upset about that failed Bacon cross though, will have to try this again some time but could not tempt hubby just now with the smell of a cheesy bacon yeast bake ;)
Oh my no, you might lose a hand if you tried to grab that cheesy bacon delight away...a beautiful bacon topping is not worth losing a body part, lol Don't worry my friend, if you hadn't called attention to it we would't have noticed, I thought it was simple beautiful! (And I'm sure @jaybird did too ;) )
Ah you're such a sweetie Mrs Bird :)
