Marmite and Cheese Whirls are a quirky twist on a traditional pastry snack. Savoury and rich in flavour, these swirls are perfect for a quick bite or breakfast on the go. Marmite is famously divisive, but those who love it will enjoy its tangy flavour, which is perfectly complemented by the rich, melted cheese. The pastry puffs up beautifully in the oven, creating a flaky and delicious dough that encapsulates the filling. These whirls are perfect for those who love savoury over sweet snacks.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / gas mark 6.
2.	Cut the puff pastry into a rectangle shape. Spread the marmite over the pastry evenly.
3.	Sprinkle the grated cheese over the marmite.
4.	Roll the pastry tightly into a sausage shape. Slice into 1cm-thick rounds.
5.	Brush the beaten egg over the swirls.
6.	Place on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until golden and puffed up.
