STEP 1
Cut the hot cross bun loaf in half lengthways. Heat the oven to 180°C. Place the bottom half of the buns into a baking dish (23 x 19 x 6 cm)
STEP 2

STEP 5
While the bacon is cooking, add eggs, milk, salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix and combine

Heat a fry-pan to medium-high heat. Add butter and swirl around the pan until melted. Pour in egg mixture. Add chives. Using a spatula, move the egg around the pan until the mixture begins firm but is still slightly runny. Remove from the heat
