Cheesymite Scrolls made the perfect lunch box snack! Filled with Vegemite and cheese, they’re sure to be a family favourite. Watch the recipe video to see how easy to make they really are!
Whether you’re looking for a yummy snack to pack in school lunch boxes or are just after a great little weekend lunch, these Cheesymite Scrolls are the best! If you’re a Vegemite fan (and if you live in Australia, there’s a 99.9999% chance you are), then you’ll love these. They’re super quick and easy to make and are a whole lot cheaper than buying the store-bought ones.
To start off you need to make a basic dough. Flour a board or bench and knead the dough until you have a nice round ball. On a side note, there’s something quite therapeutic about kneading dough – I highly recommend it! When you’ve got your dough ball ready, roll it out until it’s 1cm thick. Don’t worry too much about getting the dough a perfect shape… we’re going rustic here! Just a oval’ish’ shape is perfect!
Next, spread the butter and then the Vegemite over the dough (make sure you leave about a 1cm border around the edge). Sprinkle the grated cheese over the Vegemite. Then, starting from one of the long sides, roll the dough up, over and over itself, until you have one nice long round tube. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 3cm thick slices. Bake them into the oven until they’re golden and sound hollow when tapped. While the scrolls are cooking, make yourself a cuppa and have a little relax – you’ve totally earned it. If you like, maybe even have a piece of cake too. Actually a piece of cake is a must for relaxing and waiting for scrolls.
You can store these delicious little things in an airtight container for up to two days… but seriously, in our house they’re lucky to last a day. Whatever you do, make sure you try the Cheesymite Scrolls warm out of the oven… errrrmeeeegoddd!! So yum. You can also make a big batch of these, cook them and freeze them until you need them. For best results, pop them back into the oven to reheat if using from frozen.
And that’s it – a super easy and oh-so-delicious recipe that is perfect for the happy little Vegemites in your family!

they look like tasty little bites lucy!
I’ve come across from I spy plum pie!
you are certainly a good cook!
your food and treats look amazing!
love m:)X
Oh thank you so much! 🙂
Oh YUM!
Vegemite and Cheese were just made to go to together – such a crackin’ combination. My husband hates vegemite so I would be forced to eat the whole batch myself. I could think of worse things to do!
These look great. Only one of my kids likes vegemite so we tend to have pizza scrolls instead.
Oh these look good and I like how simple they are to bake. Alas we don’t have Vegemite in my part of the world, but it would be easy to substitute something else. Thanks for linking to Mummy Mondays #Team MM
Thank you – oh yes you could add anything you like!
YES they ARE the best!! I must confess I regularly get them from Baker’s Delight. They are my “lunch on the run”!! I must make up a big batch and freeze them. I was actually looking for a recipe the other day, could’t find one I could “trust” so I made cheese and bacon ones instead!!
Me too!! Such a quick and easy lunch on the go!
These would be perfect for an after school afternoon tea snack!
Oh yes absolutely!
I am not a Vegemite fan but I think a couple of kids in my house might like these! So simple!
Vegemite is definitely a love or hate thing isn’t it. I LOVE it!!
Aussie as. x
Absolutely 🙂
I saw this in snack attack and already have it on my lunch box plan 🙂
Woo hoo!
I’ve never tried these on my kids, but I really should. I need a few more things to get ready for school.
Definitely! They’ll love them!
Oh no, I’m a marmite fan 😉 haha. These look super delish though!!!
Ooooh well that would still work!
I’ve been wanting to do these sort of scrolls for ages, but making the dough scares me 🙂 I think I’ll just have to suck it up and try it. The kids will love it 🙂
Nothing to be afraid of Renee – dough is really simple!
Love a good lunchbox filler and I love kneading dough, takes you to a whole other place!
Haha doesn’t it – so therapeutic!
Yum, I’ll be making these today! Are they suitable to freeze?
Absolutely!!
Is it 150 ml of milk instead of 150 grams?
Hi Suzy, I use grams on this website as it’s what the Thermomix measures in. But yes – 150mls 🙂 xx
Hello, I’m hoping for some tips on this recipe. I used the Thermomix version by my scrolls didn’t rise. The only ingredient I didn’t add was vegemite.
Any tips would be most helpful as I’d really like to be able to make these.
Thanks.
Hi Eve, that’s really strange as the self-raising flour should definitely have risen them! The only thing I can think of is that perhaps your oven wasn’t hot enough?
