wife has bought white bread, reduced cream, onion soup and we have cheese in fridge, do you just mix cream, soup and grated cheese together, then spread over bread, roll up and bake for 10 mins or something?
are there any other 'secret' ingredients?
please share your favourite recipe!
thanks in advance :-)

You have to put ingredients in a pot & stir on the stove till the mixture has thickened .I usually let it cool for a while

Evaporated milk instead of reduced cream. And yep in a pot to all mix and thicken together.

Sorry - didn't mean to start a fight. We've never made them before and wife phoned mother in Chch last night who said reduced cream, onion soup and grated cheese. (ducks away and hides)

Made these last night - found a recipe wife had written down by Richard Till 1 tin reduced cream 1tsp mustard powder 1 pkt onion soup 1/2 an onion finely chopped about 2 C grated edam cheese
I heated the ingredients in a small saucepan then buttered bread and put the mixture on the unbuttered side and rolled up. bake ar 180c for 10-12 min - this made 10 using white toast bread it could have made more but the mixture was so tasty I was 'sampling' it as I was putting it on the bread

Never added evaporated milk or reduced cream in any of the gazillions of cheese rolls I have made over my sons school fundraising . And I am a born and bred Southlander .

Mum never did either. But I like the next method I used the reduced cream, maggi onion soup mix, 1/2 red onion diced and grated cheese. I divide it into 3 and freeze 2 lots. One lot does one loaf of sandwich bread. The mix needs to be heated gently then lightly spread over bread and roll, freeze wonderfully. Mustard added would be tasty.

Went to Dunedin last year for a visit tried some at the Café down the street struggle to see the appeal. Heaps of better food down that way.
Dunedin is OK as a tourist destination though, if a bit bleak went to Queenstown too which is very good, haven't been to Christchurch but have heard they don't like us Jaffa's there so no point going.

A cheese roll is very good now and then on a freezing cold day with a bowl of soup, one doesn't eat them all the time you know. Sad that you feel that way about ChCh people. maybe you should have ventured further South

Don't believe everything you hear! You will never know what a great place you missed . still a bit rugged after getting broken, though. Some of us are quite civilized, believe it or not. ps. I don't like Queenstown much . too commercial for me. ;o)

Well come on, share your recipe. I made some recently, had a crowd coming & I used a supposedly 'prize winning' recipe & I have to say they didn't get served, not that great (did lunch for a couple of days).

I too am a southlander so I stick with my recipe but in saying that I think as long as the basic components are there you can add what you like , mix cheese with hot water whatever you want I have had some lovely and some not so good cheese rolls over the years . I think the ones you buy that are for fund raising often don't have enough filling in them so make your own load up the filling that's the secret
