Morrisons is selling handmade cheese Easter eggs for £5 each.
There’s two options available in-store and online from tomorrow, March 29:
- Lancashire and Cheddar
- Stratford Blue Soft Cheese
They’ll be available across all stores in the UK and those part of the My Morrisons reward scheme can bag one for £4.
It’s perfect for those with a savoury tooth, but not quite for others expecting to eat chocolate this Easter.
The supermarket says the Stratford Blue egg has a “a soft and tangy flavour” while the Lancashire and Cheddar version is creamier.
Andrew Thomas, buying manager, cheese at Morrisons said: “We’re continuously looking for ways to make Easter moments fun and exciting for our customers and we’re thrilled to unveil a real unique twist on a true classic.”
Remember to factor in delivery costs if you’re ordering online – Morrisons charges at least £4.15 but if you buy a delivery pass it could save you up to £176 if you order regularly.
Visit its website to find out about the different passes and what their prices are.
You can also search the store locator online to find your nearest branch.
We couldn’t find any similar eggs from high street shops or supermarkets, so Morrisons is the place to go if cheese is your thing.
M&S did cheese Easter eggs in 2020, complete with a yolk in the centre.
They were made out of Barber’s Farmhouse Cheddar and a vintage 18-month matured Red Leicester “yolk”.
They were mini, so they came in packs of six. It would’ve set you back £8.50 for a box.
In 2019 Sainsbury’s sold an Easter egg made from spreadable cheese. The “cheaster” egg contained 120g of cheese, a packet of oat cakes, and a sachet of chutney for £5.
And in 2018 Asda sold its “cheester”…
