Serving Suggestions
You can serve them on their own as a snack, in lunchboxes as part of a balanced meal, or even serve them with other snacky foods as part of a picky tea.
Things like pizza sticks, vegetable crudites, dips, sandwiches, and other snack items are often all kids want to eat. Letting them pick a few bits helps relieve the stress of busy meal times.
How to Store
Store: The cheese and marmite puff pastry twists should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge until you want them. They should last for around four days. Make sure they cool completely before adding them to the fridge.
Freeze: You can freeze them raw so they are ready to bake when you need them, or you can freeze cooked leftovers.
Reheat: To reheat the cheese and marmite puff pastry twists, simply add them back to the oven for a few minutes. You can do this straight from the freezer on a low setting or let them defrost first and then reheat. They are best served warm.
Substitutions and Variations
- You could make this Vegan if you wish. Just ensure that you use vegan cheese and vegan-friendly milk for the glaze and that the pastry is vegan-friendly.
- You could add vegetables to these twists. Tomatoes work well, as well as mushrooms or peppers.
- Why not add leftover meat to the cheese and marmite puff pastry twists? Shredded ham and chicken would be super tasty with the cheese and marmite.
- Adding a few variations of cheese to the marmite would be super cheesy. Maybe a stronger-tasting one or some shredded mozzarella to make it stringy. Kids love that.
- For a different flavor combination, add some tomato sauce or puree to the other half that you haven’t added marmite to.
Tips for Success
- Brush the pastry with an egg glaze or milk wash to achieve that golden crunch.
- Only cover half of the oblong pastry with marmite and cheese. Then, fold over the other side to cover it.
- A nonstick baking tray ensures that the cheese and marmite puff pastry twists will not stick to the sheet once they are cooked.
