Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 160°C/140°C fan-forced. Halve the hot-cross buns and set tops aside. Roughly chop bun bases. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs, sugar and cream in a large bowl until well combined. Add chopped bun bases. Stand for 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, arrange soaked bun bases in a large greased (about 4-5cm deep) baking dish. Dip the cut-side of the hot-cross bun tops into the egg mixture and arrange cross-side up in the dish. Pour the remaining egg mixture around the bun tops.
- Loosely cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake for a further 10 -15 minutes or until custard has set.
- Decorate with small Easter Eggs, dust with icing sugar and serve.

I added stewed apples instead of jam. Served with custard and thickened cream. Superb!
