By Aemelia

These can easily be frozen once rolled and then baked at a later date.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 large brown onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 12 slices grainy bread
• Melted butter or olive oil to brush bread with
• 2 cups grated cheese - a good strong, cheddar works well
• pinch cayenne pepper
• Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat butter in heavy-based frying pan, add onions and cook over a low heat for 10 minutes or until softened.
2. Sprinkle over brown sugar and continue to cook over a low heat until caramelised (around 30mins).
3. While the onions caramelise, roll slices of bread flat with a rolling pin (the flatter you can get it the easier it will be to roll up later). Brush both sides with melted butter or olive oil.
4. Preheat oven to 180ºC on Bake.
5. In a medium sized bowl, combine the onions, grated cheese, cayenne pepper, black pepper and mix with just enough water to make a thick paste.
6. Divide cheese paste among the 12 pieces of bread and spread thinly.
7. Roll each piece of bread up tightly and place onto a lined baking tray, leaving around 5cm (2inches) between each roll.
8. Bake for 15 minutes, turning once, until golden brown.
