introduction

Homemade cheese and onion rolls are so much yummier than store bought! These cheddar cheese and caramelized onion rolls are simple to make – the filling ingredients bake together in the oven to streamline the process. Serve fresh from the oven at parties or pack them in a picnic basket in the warmer months.

Ingredients

  • 4 small/medium potatoes, I used Maris Pipers
  • 3 medium red onions
  • 30 g (2 tbsp) 2 Tbsp Butter
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 Tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • 1-2 Tbsp fresh herbs, I used thyme and rosemary
  • 150 g (1.25 cups) grated mature cheddar cheese
  • 50 g (½ cup) grated parmesan*
  • 2-3 ready rolled puff pastry sheets**
  • 1 egg, whisked
  •  Nigella seeds or poppy seeds for sprinkling

Instructions 

Preparing your filling

    • Heat the oven to 200C / 400F.
    • Grease a small to medium sized glass baking dish and place your sliced onions inside. You don’t want the onions to be completely spread out – the dish should be small enough for them to overlap and form a pile so that they are not roasting and crisping up. Add the butter, cover and place in the oven.
    • Prepare your potatoes for baking. Poke them a few times with a knife, and wrap them in foil. Place them in the oven next to the dish with the onions.
    • Bake for 1 hour, but go in every 15 minutes to give the onions a stir and a shake to stop them from burning or sticking. Your onions may not need the full hour. Take them out once they have reduced and are getting soft and sticky.
    • Stir the fresh herbs into the dish with the onions and then pour the onions into a bowl.
    • Unwrap the potatoes, and leave to cool down until they can be handled.
    • Slice open the potatoes and scoop the filling into the bowl with the onions. Add the mustard and smoked paprika and mash with a fork and get everything combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.
    • Now place in the fridge until the potato and onion mix has cooled down.
    • Once cool, stir the grated cheese into the mix and we are now ready to prepare the rolls.
