A Facebook photo of her experimental creation has been widely slammed, with many claiming they can’t think of a worse mix of flavours.

The woman said she used leftover buns bought from a bakery in Sydney, filled with a ‘generous amount’ of sultanas and spices.
‘A hot cross bun is super yum, a fried egg sandwich is also a solid breakfast. Combining them did not bring out the best of either,’ she wrote.
Her post drew horrified responses, with one woman saying: ‘My initial thoughts when I saw this combo – confirmed!’
‘Oh babe no! Maybe sweet things like jam, maple syrup, cream… But not savoury stuff… No!’ added another.
