Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create these cheesy, buttery beauties:

Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot for those scrolls to rise and get perfectly golden.

Prepare the Puff Pastry

Lay out your puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll it out to smooth any creases, making it as even as possible.

Spread the Vegemite

Spread a thin layer of Vegemite evenly over the entire surface of the puff pastry. Be generous, but not too heavy just enough to get that delicious flavor in every bite.

Add the Cheese

Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese over the Vegemite. You want it well-covered, so every bite is cheesy goodness.

Roll It Up

Carefully roll the puff pastry up into a tight log, starting from one end. This will create the scrolls when you slice it.

Slice the Scrolls

Once your log is rolled up, use a sharp knife to slice it into 1-inch wide scrolls. Place them cut-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Brush with Butter and Egg

In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of milk. Brush this mixture over the top of each scroll for that perfect golden-brown finish. If you want, you can also brush with a little melted butter for extra flavor.

Bake to Perfection

Pop your scrolls in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until they’re golden, crispy on the outside, and perfectly gooey on the inside. The smell will drive you crazy (in the best way)!

Serve and Enjoy

Once they’re baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm, and enjoy the gooey, cheesy magic of your Cheesymite Scrolls!
