Vegemite Scrolls
These Vegemite Scrolls take me straight back to when my girls were growing up. I used to make batch after batch during school holidays or on weekends and they would disappear almost as quickly as they came out of the oven.
Fresh and warm or packed into lunchboxes the next day, they’re one of those easy recipes you just know will be eaten without a single complaint. And honestly, that’s always a win.
Vegemite Scrolls are a true Aussie classic that never go out of style. Golden puff pastry, melty cheese and that Vegemite flavour we all know and love. It’s simple, comforting and always hits the spot.
I still make these on repeat when I need something quick for weekends or an easy snack to keep everyone happy. They come together with just three ingredients and barely any prep, which is exactly what you want on a busy day. No fancy ingredients, no fuss… just a reliable recipe that works every time.
If you’re planning ahead for the week, you might also enjoy my English Muffin Pizzas. Another easy, family-friendly favourite that saves you in the afternoons.
Whether it’s school holidays, back-to-school prep or just a quiet weekend bake, these are the kind of scrolls you’ll find yourself coming back to again and again.

Vegemite Scrolls
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry, defrosted
- Vegemite spread
- Grated cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven 200ºC and line 2 baking trays with baking paper.
- Spread Vegemite over the pastry square.
- Sprinkle with grated cheese. Leave a border at the top to seal when you roll up.
- Now is the time to roll up the scrolls: From one end of the pastry, carefully remove the blue backing plastic and roll the edge of the pastry up and over the filling. Continue to roll the pastry over the filling, removing the blue plastic as you go. Allow to seal at the end. I usually seal with the Vegemite that is on the end of the pastry.
- Remove from the plastic and place rolled pastry on a chopping board. Using a sharp knife, carefully slice through the dough from end to end. I usually can get approximately 10 pieces at roughly 2cm thickness.
- Carefully place scrolls onto a lined baking tray and bake in the OVEN for approximately 15-20 minutes. Allow to cool on the tray 5 minutes before serving.
- AIR FRYER: follow instructions 1-5 and cook in the air fryer 10-12 minutes.
Notes
- I prefer to use 'Borg's Puff Pastry'. However feel free to use any puff pastry you can find at the supermarket.
- To make ahead of time. Continue steps 1 through to 4. Then from here you can wrap the blue plastic back over the scroll and place into a sealed container to be refrigerated. This is a great way to prepare ahead of time and pull out when you are ready to cook. I usually prepare these in the morning and cook when needed. Continue steps 5-6 to cook.
