I've just finished making a batch and have changed from using evaporated milk to reduced cream. As Korbo said above, it's essentially the traditional kiwi onion dip but with two cups cheese added. They have to be served with melted butter on top. Also, I've noted that the $1 sandwich loaves from Countdown are useless. It's dearer, but the Tip Top bread folds nicely and doesn't break.

This brew is yummy to make a few for the freezer, bit different was published in Otago Daily Times. 250 gr butter, 250 gr flour, 800 ml milk, s/p, 1/2 small red onion, bunch spring onions, 250 gr cream cheese, 100gr grated cheese. In a large saucepan melt butter, add flour, whisk well to còok out flour 2-3 minutes. Gradually add milk, whisking well till it comes up to a simmer to make a sauce. Take off heat. In a basin put cream cheese, add s/p diced red onion, sliced green onions, grated cheese, mix well and add to sauce mixture. Spread on very fresh bread roll up toast under grill serve with lashings of butter spread on top, or put into plastic bags and freeze.Depending how much filling you use takes around 2-3 loaves bread.

not sure they were the best I have had. they kinda opened up, but were tasty. some I had when on holiday down the south I thought had cheese or butter on them when cooked.

Hey team!
just received a whole bunch of cheese rolls. c/- a fundraising effort. (no i wont name names :P) they are awesome. however they differ to "my grans' tried and true" **cheese-roll recipe** in fact they are savoury but sweet(ish?) was wondering to myself and my partner if there was a "quintessential" accepted recipe or what the variances were. in my thirty years here in southland (rural) this is my own personal first experience with "sweet" cheese-rolls. and i'm (we're) genuinely interested in what or how this has a sweet taste and the tastes of those about :P --- let me be clear no one recipe is wrong or right. just curious as to the differences or preferences. (i naively thought it was all basically the same consensus. . -> im looking at the powdered onion versus the real onion folk :P

Just ask the fundraiser for the recipe They will tell you as it is probably not a secret and normally it is easier and cheaper to buy a couple of dozen than make your own AND it's going to a good cause.
Beats buying a raffle ticket. Lol

Well as a Southlander from way back talking 70 + years here I have to say the cheeze rolls we had were only ever in Oamaru so not really a Southland thing. The recipes which have been on here before are fine.

grandmasterazz, try doing a search here on the Recipes MB using cheese rolls as the Keywords and Last year as the Date posted. You'll find a number of earlier threads with differing recipes, some apparently are the best so I suggest that you compare the recipes with the rolls you've had and decide which would suit you best according to what you liked/didn't like so much about those rolls. :-))

I do the standard tin evaporated milk, pkt onion soup mix and 2 cups grated cheese but add small tin of crushed pineapple - well drained, and cooked chopped streaky bacon.

I sometimes wish I hadn't added to the original tho as whenever I ask my family what they want they say "the deluxe ones please". It is a bit more work but when you eat them you are please you have done it. I decided to try it as I well remember those cheese and pineapple sticks we had in the 60s and how they are a match made in heaven. Was stirring the original recipe together over the stove one day and suddenly thought of it. Happened to have a packet of Streaky Bacon in the fridge at the time so thought "Why not". Didn't tell the family - just waited for their reaction with their first bite. Oh - and I never bother removing the crust from the bread.

I use evaporated milk and onion soup mix and add some chopped chives and a little mustard.

Everyone has got their own version of cheese rolls. If you get sick of cheese filling, spread with left over mince, or creamed corn, roll up toast as usual serve with lashings of butter.
