Hi there,

I'm looking for the recipe, and I know it is here somewhere, for cheese rolls, bread with crusts removed is spread with a cheese mixture, rolled up, sprinkled with grated cheese and baked in the oven. These used to be a great favourite in coffee bars years ago.

Filling recipe would be much appreciated - I think from memory it had something to do with boiling water.

Thanks.

If you think you can, you can.
If you think you can't, you're right.

Just saw this in the Otago Daily Times site. Has a couple of styles of the Southland Cheese Rolls to try.

Hope this helps. There are also a lot of threads on this site.

Hooray , hooray , thankyou Claire this is the original recipe I remember from Dunedin
piles of years ago....... you have made my day.

I coat the outside of my cheese rolls with garlic flavoured avocado oil and either grill or toast them in my toastie maker. Delicious. Do try it!

Ngaire, out of interest, which one of the three recipes is the original? They all look great but are so different.

Thanks

Clare

Clare, if you go to page 1 of that ODT article (scroll to the bottom and click on Page 1), the whole story and history of the roll is related. The Rex cheese one seems to be closest to the original.

Hi Claire the 1st one on the ODT , Rex cheese derived filling . less the sugar i think.
We cooked it in a double boiler.
John will try your idea next time it sounds delicious thanks.

Here is one that I got off this site Have made it & was a hit.
