Cheesy mitey bites
Thanks to some puff pastry and a couple of pantry staples like flexi mozzarella and flavoursome Mainland Egmont cheese, it’s a cinch to whip up this savoury snack or lunchbox filler. Lovingly created by Annabel Langbein.

Tips
- For a creamier option, substitute the original Vegemite for Vegemite & Cheese, a more mild yeast taste with cream cheese added!
FAQs
- Is Vegemite healthy?
- Vegemite is an excellent source of vitamins B1, B2, B3, and B9. The Reduced Salt version even contains vitamins B6 and B12. These vitamins may support brain health and reduce fatigue, anxiety, stress and heart disease risk.
- Can I freeze these for my children’s lunch?
- Yes! These are a great alternative to a sandwich for lunch! Simply pack their lunch box straight from the freezer and they will be fully defrosted for lunchtime!
