The Ultimate Movie Night Snack: 5-Minute Pizza Buns That Are Better Than Delivery

When it comes to choosing what kind of snack to eat while having a movie night at home, options like popcorn or potato chips can seem like something you just can’t eat anymore.

For situations like this, the recipe for extremely delicious pizza buns exists — you’ll make those in just 30 minutes and won’t regret having chosen them for such an occasion. Also, consider opting for such buns for breakfast.

Here’s what you need: 4 round buns, 2 tablespoons of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 150 g of sausage (cooked or smoked), 120 g of hard cheese, 2 small tomatoes, a small bunch of fresh herbs (parsley or dill), and 4 eggs (optional, one per bun).

Cut off the tops of the buns and carefully remove the soft inside to create thin-walled “cups.” Spread sauce on the inside— you can use ketchup mixed with mayonnaise, melted butter, or any other sauce you like. Then prepare the filling: cut the sausage into small cubes, slice the tomatoes thinly, chop the herbs, and grate the cheese using a coarse grater.

Mix everything together or layer it, whichever you prefer. Fill the buns to the top with the filling and press down gently. If you're making them for breakfast, carefully crack one egg directly into the filling on top; it makes them very nutritious. Sprinkle a little more cheese on top for a golden crust. Place the rolls in an oven preheated to 180°C for 20 minutes. Serve hot — the cheese is stretchy, and the crust is crispy.
