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.

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” egg. Half of the egg was made from Blacksticks blue cheese and half was crackers and chutney.
There’s even been a chocolate and cheese hybrid before, which Iceland sold in 2017 for £3.
At the moment Morrisons is selling normal chocolate eggs from its The Best range like its Belgian Dark Chocolate & Raspberry Egg, Belgian Chocolate & Orange Egg and White & Blonde Chocolate Egg all for £6 each, so don’t panic if you only like the classics.
You can also snatch up branded favourites like a Galaxy Milk Chocolate egg or a Kitkat Bunny Giant Easter Egg for £3.99 each.
