New Zealand · Southland — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms it as a New Zealand snack food similar to Welsh rarebit, made by covering bread with a cheese filling and rolling it. Quantities and method are this book's own.

Pasos

Warm the evaporated milk in a pan with the onion soup powder and stir 2 minutes until it thickens.
Take it off the heat, stir in the cheese and Worcestershire, and let it cool to a thick spreadable paste.
💡 Let it cool and thicken properly. A warm runny filling soaks through the bread and the roll falls apart on the grill.
Spread a thick layer on each slice, right to three edges, and roll it up from one side.
Lay them seam side down and butter the outside all over.
Grill under a hot grill or in a hot pan for 3 minutes a side, turning, until browned all over and the cheese is bubbling out of the ends.
Serve straight away, cut in half on the diagonal, with more butter if anyone asks.

💡 Consejos

It is from Southland at the bottom of the South Island and is sold at every school fundraiser and rugby club in the province.
Southerners call it southern sushi entirely seriously, and there is an annual cheese roll competition in Gore.
The rolls freeze raw. Butter them after thawing, not before, or they go soggy.
