Cheese and vegemite scrolls
Perfect for morning or afternoon tea, cheese and vegemite scrolls are a favourite at bakeries all around Australia. And now you can make them at home! Perfect for visits from the grandkids.
Ingredients:
- 4 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- ¼ cup Vegemite
- 3 cups grated tasty cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
Method:
- Preheat oven to 220°C. Line 3 baking trays with baking paper. Place pastry, 1 sheet at a time, onto a chopping board. Spread Vegemite over pastry. Sprinkle cheese over Vegemite.
- Starting from the edge nearest you, roll up pastry, 1 sheet at a time. Be careful not to roll the pastry sheets too tight. Cut each roll into 12 equal portions.
- An easy way to do this is to cut each roll into quarters, then cut each quarter in 3.
- Brush pastry scroll tops with beaten egg.
- Place scrolls, cut-side up, onto baking trays, allowing room for spreading. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until pastry is golden and cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes on trays before transferring to a wire rack. Serve.
