cheese rolls

Baked cheesy bread

Cheese rolls are a savory baked item featuring cheese as the primary filling or topping, rolled or wrapped in dough.

In New Zealand, the term specifically refers to a regional specialty from Otago—bread rolled around a cheese mixture and toasted until crispy: We picked up cheese rolls from the bakery in Dunedin.

Elsewhere, cheese rolls may simply be bread rolls with cheese baked in or on top.
