Cheese rolls - Southland sushi

A cheese roll is a variation of cheese on toast, mouse trap, croute au fromage de Savoyarde, Welsh rarebit ... but created covering a slice of bread with a prepared filling made of grated cheese and onion soup mix before rolling it up into a tube and toasting it.

The cheese roll is very popular in southern New Zealand. Found in most dairies, cafes and a staple of smoko and morning teas in and around Southland, the cheese roll has become known to the modern locals and travellers as Southland sushi.
