Easy as finger food

After a twitter discussion with Zan from Triple J (follow her on twitter @triplejmornings), I thought I'd put up some of my super easy snack/finger foods.

The first one, based on said convo, is Cheesymite Scrolls. Super easy, kids will love making and eating them, and you can play around with the fillings.

All you need is:

Puff Pastry
Vegemite
Cheese - Grated is easiest

You also need a greased tray or if you have it, use glad bake - so much easier to remove when cooked!
Preheat your oven as per the packet instructions for the puff - usually about 180C.


Separate a sheet from the stack of pastry (this is easiest to do when it is still frozen - use a knife blade between the sheets) and leave the plastic on the bottom.

Now, spread vegemite all over the sheet, leaving a 2cm width along one edge.

Then, sprinkle the cheese over the vegemite, again making sure you leave the 2cm edge.

Next you need to roll up your pastry - start at the opposite edge to your free 2cm, pull the plastic off partly and use the plastic to roll the pastry together into a roll. When you get to the end, use the empty 2cm to stick it all together. You can use a little beaten egg or water to help it stick.

When you have it all stuck in a nice roll, take a knife (serrated edge works best) and cut the log into 1.5cm discs.

Place the discs flat on your tray, and into the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the pastry is puffy and golden. Let them cool on the tray for a couple of minutes, then remove.

These are great hot or cold, so you could pre-make them and serve cold or reheat them.


OTHER FILLINGS
The great thing with these is that you can make them as fancy as you like. Some other fillings I have done are:

Sweet Chilli Sauce and Cheese
Ham and Cheese
Olive tapenade and crumbled feta
Pesto and parmesan

Peanut Butter and Jam
Peanut Butter and Honey
Nutella
Sugar and Cinnamon
Lemon and Sugar

Hope you have a go and enjoy!
