Step by step instructions for making these easy and delicious homemade Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls, also known as Cheesy-mite Scrolls.
As a busy mum, finding snacks that are both delicious and easy to make can be a challenge. My family love these Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls. Not only are they a great snack option, but they’re also perfect for school lunchboxes, picnics or a weekend lunch idea.Â
I usually make these scrolls the night before and add to lunchboxes or have them fresh on weekends for lunch. You’ll also find this recipe in my Lunchbox Recipes Cookbook. Â
You could use the base of this recipe for many different varieties:
- ham and cheese
- bacon and cheese
- ham, capsicum, pineapple and cheese
- ham, pineapple and cheese
- chicken and sweet chilli
- pizza sauce and cheese
- salami and cheese
- vegemite and cheese
- spinach and fetta
- sundried tomatoes, basil and cheese
- ham, tomato and cheese
- pesto and cheese
Make the dough, find full recipe below.  I make my dough on a silicone baking mat, as it’s a tedious job to clean the dough off the kitchen bench.
Roll to form a rectangle that is roughly 40cm x 25cm.
Spread vegemite over the dough using a blunt knife, then sprinkle cheese over the top.
Roll up the dough, starting from a long side first. Cut 10 x 4cm pieces from the roll. Place these pieces close together, cut side up on a greased baking tray.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden.
A great, non-sandwich idea for the lunchboxes. Find lunch box ideas here.
