This ultra-cheesy dish, beloved by sheep shearers in New Zealand’s “deep south” is a simple play on a croque monsieur. Perfect with soup, for afternoon tea, or as breakfast-why not-it’s a Kiwi favourite that’ll soon become your favourite, too.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion, finely diced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- 200ml evaporated milk
- 1/2 sachet onion soup powder
- 250g cheddar, grated
- White sandwich bread
- Butter, melted
Directions
In a pot, soften the onion and garlic in a dash of oil.
Once softened, add the evaporated milk, onion soup powder and grated cheese.
Stir until the cheese has melted, then continue to mix over the heat until the mixture thickens. Set aside to cool slightly.
On a slice of bread, spread a generous layer (not too thick) of the cheese mixture over. Use your hands to make into a roll, then set onto a lined tray.
Brush with melted butter, then bake in a 180C (356F) oven for 5-10 minutes or until just golden brown. Serve hot!
