Vegemite and Cheese Pinwheels are a delightful snack that perfectly combines the rich, salty flavour of Vegemite with the creamy goodness of cheese, all wrapped in a golden pastry. Whether you choose to bake them in the oven or prepare them in an air fryer, these pinwheels are simple to make and utterly scrumptious.
To start, you'll need some puff pastry, which you can easily find in the freezer section of your local supermarket. Once thawed, roll out the pastry and generously spread a layer of Vegemite across its surface. Next, sprinkle a mixture of grated cheese—like cheddar or a sharp tasty cheese—over the Vegemite, ensuring an even distribution for that perfect cheesy bite.
Roll the pastry tightly into a log and slice it into rounds. If you're using the oven, preheat it to 200°C (fan oven) and bake for about 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Alternatively, for the air fryer, set it to 180°C and cook for around 10-12 minutes, checking for that deliciously crispy finish.
These pinwheels make for a delightful addition to any lunchbox or as a savoury treat for afternoon tea. With their irresistible combination of flavours, Vegemite and Cheese Pinwheels are sure to become a favourite for young and old alike!
