Super Easy Vegemite and Cheese Pastry Scrolls – Lunchbox Snack

by Katrina - The Organised Housewife January 22, 2018August 7, 2019
January 22, 2018August 7, 2019

One of my kids favourite lunch box snacks for school and on weekends are Vegemite and Cheese Pasty Scrolls. Sometimes I do make them from scratch but when I don’t have time I cheat. I have to thank my good friend Annaliese for introducing me to this super easy Vegemite and Cheese Pasty Scrolls recipe many years ago.

I originally posted this recipe on 8th March 2012, I have updated it with new photos.

I am now into the routine of making the kids lunches the night before, so I whip up a batch of these while I am cooking dinner and put them in the lunchboxes ready for the next day.  When the kids were younger I used to make them in the morning to pop into their lunchbox for that day so they are a little fresher and crisp.

Preheat your oven to 220°C, fan forced. Thaw out your puff pastry. Then spread with vegemite.  The amount really depends on how much you like vegemite to how much you want to use, I light a medium-thick spread, which is about 1-1.5 tablespoons.

Then generously sprinkle with grated cheese.

Roll the pastry up into a log.

Slice into 1.5cm slices.

Bake in oven for 8-12 minutes.  These can cook quickly depending on how good your fan works in your oven.  I’d check on them at 8 minutes and again at 10, cook until they are golden. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before eating or putting in lunchboxes.

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.

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.

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

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……

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.

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

Reply
Lisa Maher September 19, 2012 - 1:13 PM

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

Reply
Jell September 19, 2012 - 11:48 PM

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.

Reply
Sue October 29, 2012 - 9:13 PM

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?

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

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.

My mother has been making pizza pinwheels for years it was our take a savory plate that was always a hit. We use spreadable cream cheese, tomato sauce and chopped up salami. Very simple and yummy!!

I would eat these within a day or two of making, as after this time they would become too hard to eat.

If you just microwave them on 50% for 1 minute they become soft enough to eat without going soggy.

they are usually eaten in my home within a day or two, but I would store no longer than 2-3 days. However, you can freeze them too!

i make them with a scone one dough when I`m not in a hurry .. also do chutney and cheese ( especially nice with home made chutney) chicken sprinkled with your favourite herbs and spices ( everyone loves these) , I also do sweet ones with jam or yes that horrible stuff Nutella ,,, let your imagination go wide 🙂

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
