Bun-ies

I always said I would be honest about any recipe I tried.. good or bad.. and I must be honest.. this one from Better Hones and Gardens May 1943.. left me underwhelmed. 

In theory..whats not to like... bread.. eggs and cheese. But I must admit it lacked something. The buns were pretty dry.. and the flavour  was very bland. Perhaps the buns were too big for the egg to bread ratio... and maybe a stronger tasting cheese.. like a sharp cheddar would be better. I guess adding a bit of chopped bacon or ham would have helped.

Nevertheless... these buns were disappointing... and I probably wont make them again
