Jill Mackenzie's cheese rolls

In the Edi-bull series, Shawn McAvinue asks the people making the food served at bull sales in the South to share their recipes. This week, Jill Mackenzie, of Moeraki, shares her cheese roll recipe served at the Earnscleugh Station High Country Genetics bull sale near Alexandra.

Ingredients

1kg Colby cheese, either

small cubes or grated

50g butter, cubed

1 cup milk (can be cream if

you wish to get a bit fancy)

32g packet of onion soup

4 eggs

Method

1. Put cheese and butter in a wide pot.

2. Beat the eggs, milk and onion soup mix together and add to pot.

3. Melt ingredients in pot on a low to medium heat while stirring with a wooden spoon to stop mixture sticking and burning. Whisk any lumps with a fork.

4. Allow mixture to cool until a spreadable consistency similar to margarine.

5. Spread mixture on sandwich bread (I have found the budget breads are not great, so worth spending a bit more for a better end result).

6. Roll, cook in the oven, frypan or sandwich press until golden brown and crispy, smother in butter and enjoy.
