Aged Airedale Cheese rolls

Famous in Southland New Zealand Cheese Rolls use simple pantry ingredients and are super cheesy and delicious!

Ingredients:

1 x 32g packet of Maggi onion soup mix
1 x 340ml tin of evaporated milk
400 g grated Aged Airedale cheese
1 Loaf of fresh white bread
Salt and pepper to taste
Spreadable butter or margarine

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 180 degrees. Line 2 oven trays with baking paper.

In a medium sized saucepan over a medium-low heat place the soup mix and evaporated milk and mix.

Add grated cheese, heat slowly to a simmer, stirring until thick and smooth.

While the mixture cools, spread the bread with butter/margarine and take off the crusts if you like. If you take the crusts off it does make them easier to roll. I have left the crusts on in this case.

Spread around 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on the unbuttered side of the bread and roll up firmly.

Place the edge with the join down on the lined tray.

Bake for 10-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
