What I Serve With These Buns All Year Round
I’ve served these at Sunday brunches, summer barbecues, and even as a late night snack. Depending on the vibe, I switch up the accompaniments. Here’s a breakdown of my favorite combos:
- Breakfast: Toasted with scrambled eggs and hot sauce, or filled with peanut butter and banana slices.
- Lunch: Split and filled with tuna salad or sliced rotisserie chicken and pickles.
- Dinner: Use as a side for crispy chicken or alongside minced meat and potato bake.
- Snack: Toasted, buttered, and sprinkled with cinnamon sugar for a sweet pick me up.
- Entertaining: Mini burger sliders with cheddar, arugula, and garlic mayo.

- Garlic Herb: Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley during kneading for a savory upgrade.
