Vengeful cook spreading only brie on roll (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bunny boiler

'vengeful cook' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'spreading only brie on roll' is the wordplay.
'spreading' indicates anagramming the letters.
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'roll' becomes 'bun' (synonyms).
'only'+'brie'='onlybrie'
'onlybrie' is an anagram of 'nyboiler'.
'nyboiler' put after 'bun' is 'BUNNY-BOILER'.

(Another definition for bunny boiler that I've seen is " Vengeful cook".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
