SOUTHLAND CHEESE ROLLS
2 cups grated cheese (I use tasty), 425g tin of evaporated milk, 1 pkt onion soup and a knob of butter. Melt all those ingredients together over a low heat and then spread thickly on bread and roll up. These can be frozen as they freeze really well. Then pop in a hot oven and bake for about 10-15mins till brown.
Mix the first 3 ingredients in pot cook slowly over a low heat, just until cheese has melted, stir constantly, let cool( this makes it easier to spread ), spread on bread and roll, brush with melted butter and freeze, then all you need to do is take out how many you want and grill.
I make it go a little further by adding more cheese, then you get more rolls.

Real Southland Cheese Rolls are just grated cheese, little onion and little boiling water to bind together and then spread on fresh sandwich bread, rolled and toasted under a grill. A little goes a long way.

Cheese Rolls 1 Packet onion soup warmed with 1 cup of water over low heat, add 2 packed cups grated cheese, ½ tsp paprika, ½-1 tsp curry powder. Cut the 2 long crusts off bread and spread wrong side (lightly) with butter or margarine. Spread the cheese mix on the other side, roll up with the cheese mixture on the inside, place in plastic bag in fridge for 1hr then grill. They are really handy to keep in the freezer for last minute snacks. Makes appx 2 loaves of bread.

Yeah, that's what I put in mine too. I flatten the bread with the rolling pin and put a strip of butter on the edge before folding to help keep it's shape.
We love rolls made the same with leftover mince stew in them too.
I haven't seen the big 'catering' sized loaves of bread around for a while, wonder if they're still made?

Yes Malcovy, that was the recipe I got first prize with in the Mainlanders Group in Taranaki a while back. I always use that, sometimes with bacon bits added. I also make corn rolls in the same way and also mince rolls.

do you have to put a cocktail stick in them to keep them together or do they just sit on the fold as you bake/grill them?

I make mine without cooking. I just make an onion and evaporated milk dip, then add lots of grated cheese. Butter one side of the bread, turn over and spread with the cheese mix, roll up in 3. I freeze them like this then take out and cook when needed. Really easy. No, you dont need a cocktail stick... they just stay rolled up.

If the mixture is wet enough you can press the roll gently and is should stick. My Mother used to take us kids to a well known place ie H & J Smiths tearooms in Gore, this was the time ladies wore hats and gloves and real tea in pots. I remember the smell of the cheese rolls as she always ordered them, she loved them. I am pleased you won a prize Jaez1 with that recipe.

yep I'm with dwebble... minced onion works well as you don't have to handle the chunky bits lol... . if the onions are a bit strong then i just add a little of the onion stock or bacon and onion maggi soup mix - real yum... i always make up 6 loaves of bread into them for the winter and they go so well with soup... . enjoy! ! !

I've made a big batch of these, and we had them for lunch today as all my family were here for my birthday. They are better grilled than done in a sandwich press, as when I tried the sandwich press the other day, I had a big cheesy mess (which still tasted yummy though)
