Our team is a big fan of marmite. We love the extra salty flavour it brings to bakes. We've created some delicious cheese and marmite puff pastry swirls which are a doddle to make and a real crowd-pleaser. If you want to make your own puff pastry from scratch, just follow our puff pastry recipe here.

Method
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (200°C for fan assisted ovens)/Gas Mark 7.
Step 2
Grate 250g of cheddar (We used a strong cheddar because we love the flavour).
Step 3
Spread 3 tbsp of marmite across the sheet of puff pastry using a knife, be careful as it's tricky to do!
Step 4
Spread the grated cheese on top of the marmite ensuring an even coverage. (You can always grate more if you want them really cheesy).
Step 5
It's time to roll your pastry. Start with one edge and tuck it under as you begin to roll. You'll end up with a large thing which looks like a swiss-roll. Using a sharp knife, slice into 2cm pieces.
Step 6
Place your slices onto a non stick baking tray and wash the top with egg. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden on the top.

I gently heated the marmite in the microwave and warmed the palette knife under a hot tap. It made spreading the marmite much much easier. Also baking paper on the ‘non stick’ baking tray stops them from sticking.
Love this?
I enjoyed these treats and love marmite, cheese and pastry. But it was my first time doing it so did it quickly. Any advice....as I rolled the patry long ways so there weren't many swirls, it also pribably wasn't tight enought and some felt like under filled fajitas and lastly the marmite leaked and burnt on the parchment paper on the bottom so the bottoms were moist and a but bbq in flavour. Not criticising the recipe, can't wait to try these again. Just wondering if anyone has any tips? x
