cheese roll

Baked curd parcel

A cheese roll is a bread roll filled or topped with cheese, or a small pastry with cheese filling.

In New Zealand, the term specifically refers to a local specialty: bread rolled around a savory cheese mixture and toasted until golden.

The cheese roll is also a British competition where participants chase a wheel of cheese down a steep hill.
