spring onions

🥗Healthier: chives

💰Cheaper: regular onions

milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water

Almond milk is lower in calories, while water can be used for moisture.

Add the oil to a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until soft.

Stir in the evaporated milk, onion soup mix, Worcestershire sauce 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.

Using a rolling pin, flatten the bread slices.

Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture over a slice of bread.

Use your hands to roll up the bread.

Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Brush with melted butter, then bake in a 350 degree oven for 5 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
