Super easy lunch box snacks Vegemite and Cheese scrolls

Category: Freezer Friendly • Lunchbox • Lunchbox Ideas

One of my kids favourite lunch box snacks for school are Vegemite and cheese scrolls.  At times I do make them from scratch but when I don’t have time I cheat.

They can be made the night before, however, this is how I make them before school.  I grab 2 sheets of puff pastry from the freezer, place on the kitchen bench to thaw, preheat the oven to 220C, then have a shower. Once I am finished my shower the pastry has thawed.

Spread each sheet with Vegemite  

then sprinkle with grated tasty cheese

Roll up into a log

Cut into 1 cm slices

Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven

Allow to cool for 10min and place into lunch boxes.

    these are sooooo yummy

    I made a batch of these and one of pizza scrolls on my day off, I freeze them in snap lock bags for lunches.
    I actually make a dough for mine, but will try the pastry idea too. Although the dough takes longer, it makes them more substantial I think.

  • Froggooseandbear

    I am so making these! My non-sandwich eater would love them. Thanks!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=567517670 Lisa Barrow on Facebook

    how do you make the dough?

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=542676665 Molly Kotzur on Facebook

    I make the pizza ones, never made vegemite ones before.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=733168032 Sarah Alexander on Facebook

    I also add finely grated carrot and zucchini to mine. Gives them a bit more substance and my Kids love them. They are my Vegiemite scrolls ;)

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1452102698 Adele Clarke on Facebook

    Yep have made these several times now and just made another batch for lunches. Thanks

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002618456395 Amber Marie Happykids on Facebook

    I use wholemeal flour for extra goodness..

  • Cass

    I made a similar version of these this morning using tomato paste, thin strips of salami, olives and cheese. :)

  • Monica

    I loved your mini salad roll idea – my girls went off with this in their lunch boxes this morning and now this wonderful idea. I am always looking for different ideas. Thanks!!!

  • Caz

    I do these as twists for party food or special snacks. I started doing them for the kids when I saw them in the Cauliflower Conspiracy book but always have to bake more as the adults devour them too. Pesto is great for more developed taste buds.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=580390167 Michelle Burkett on Facebook

    i love these i always do them, mine also like them with tomato paste, with ham and cheese

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=133196433423444 Living on a Latte on Facebook

    Try sweet mustard pickles, ham and cheese – yummo! My friend makes them with sweet chilli sauce and they’re really nice too!

  • http://amultifariousme.wordpress.com/ Tanya Drummond

    Oh yum! I normally make mine with dough that I make in the bread machine, but these sound super delish!

    • brella

      Hi Tanya. This sounds like a good idea. What dough recipe do you use? Brenda

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1166082613 Trudie Heinrich on Facebook

    mine are in the oven right now, fingers crossed

    Just made these for the first time. So easy & delicious. My two year old loves them!!

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=524059251 Samantha Heriot on Facebook

    @ Lisa – I will post the recipe I use when I’m home tonight.

  • Melissaannacox

    Ive also made these with ham, cheese and pineapple :)

  • Chris

    my adult version is – spread with a curry base (I like tikka masala) sprinkle with grated cheese, feta and ricotta, chopped baby spinach. Fabulous quick party nibbles

    • brella

      yummo!

  • http://www.ohsewrosy.com.au/ Amy Fennell

    Thank you! I just made them for the kids lunches tomorrow – YUM!

  • Juliettemckeown

    Really like the photos – and of course the recepie!

  • Dana Nelson

    These look marvelous! Unfortunately, to my knowledge, we do not have Vegemite in Canada… Any ideas for alternatives??

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      hmm, I’m unsure, is Marmite similar?

      • Rosie

        Yes Marmite is similar. Slightly different taste, but more or less the same thing.

    We made these and they were gone in an instant.

    I just made these, and in the print friendly version you don’t mention to put them on their side to bake…!!! Doh – i have a lot of runny cheese on the baking paper !!!! Nevermind, i’ll try again

  • Lizzie

    Just wondering how these would freeze? I’d love to make a huge batch and freeze if possible, is that what you do? btw, I love the way you freeze sandwiches. Im going to buy a nice big plastic container and start doing the same as my first born has just started preschool, and even making him a lunchbox once a week is annoying me already lol… Im going to be terrible when he has to go everyday……

    • Lizzie

      Nevermind lol, I just realised they were in the freezer friendly section :)

    Hey Katrina

    I’ve been reading your blog for a while and was hoping to engage you as a
    ‘journalist/writer of sorts’ for an initiative I’m working on for a
    client. I love your content, your pictures and all your tips and
    my ‘foody’ client loves your content too.

    Lunch box ideas is actually an area of focus for us this year and you have such great
    material already, it would be amazing if we could collaborate. You already use most of their products actually as part of your content.

    Not asking for a freebie. Just an opportunity to speak to you
    about the client, and what we’re hoping to do this year.  I think you may already work with one of my clients other brands previously: Chux. And you may already kinda know me behind the scenes, via some of the projects
    I’m associated with for Macleans Mums (and SJ).

    Anyway, I’m a working mum of two myself and the content you create is really invaluable. Life saving a lot of working mums like me would say. I just want to work with you to bring your content to my client’s audience. Can I give you a buzz about it this week?

    Look forward to hearing from you.

  • Belinda

    Think i might make some using a scone base! feel like cheese and vegemite now lol

  • http://www.facebook.com/lisa.maher.946 Lisa Maher

    I make the dough with
    approx 2 cups of self raising flour
    about 30grams of butter and
    about a cup of milk
    and a pinch of salt
    in the food processer untill just combined you dont want it to be sticky if sticky add more flour if to dry and crumbly add more milk. also I put the vegemite in the micowave for 10secs on half power to make it easyer to spread. I make up about lots at once and freeze the dough therefore you only need to clean the food processer once. also sometimes I add dryed mixed herbs in the dough. you can put any filling in the scrolls and great when you run out of bread and can’t be bothered to get more

  • Jell

    I’ve done these several times, they don’t last long. Also do pizza scrolls – spread with tomato paste or BBQ sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese and diced bacon bits. Be creative and try other fillings.

  • Sue

    Great idea…..my kids will love them – so will us grown ups! What brand of puff pastry do you use Katrina? I’ve never seen the large rectangle ones before. Where do you buy it?

  • Brea Walker

    made them for lunch today… big hit. Thanks for the recipe.

    Do you freeze the pre-prepared rolls, ready to dethaw, slice and cook, or do you cook first then freeze??

  • http://www.facebook.com/ofettahlioglu Ozlem Ozge Fettahlioglu

    Try the same recipe with spreading olive paste/tapas and crumbling Greek feta cheese. Before putting in the oven sprinkle some sesame seads on it.

    • http://www.theorganisedhousewife.com.au Katrina

      ooh that sounds very tasty, great idea!
