Flaky & Delicious Puff Pastry Scrolls – 4 Ways!
If you’re looking for an easy, crowd-pleasing recipe that works for lunchboxes, snacks, or even a quick meal, these puff pastry scrolls are a must-try! Made using Careme butter puff pastry, they’re light, flaky, and packed with flavour.
The best part? They’re totally versatile, and you can switch up the fillings to suit your family’s taste (or whatever you have in the fridge!). These are great for little hands, easy to prep in advance, and freeze beautifully uncooked so you can bake them fresh on the day – no more rock-hard scrolls!
We’ve put together four flavour options to get you started:
Pesto & Parmesan – Simple, cheesy, and packed with flavour.
Pizza – Tomato chutney, ham, cheese, and optional MINGLE pizza seasoning for a fun twist.
Oomite & Cheese – With the option to add Cell Squared desiccated liver for a hidden nutrient boost.
Cottage Cheese & Veggie – A creamy, veggie-packed option with capsicum, parmesan, and baby spinach.
Tip: Make a batch, freeze them uncooked, and bake fresh for perfectly crisp, flaky scrolls every time!

Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. If baking from frozen, preheat the oven once ready to cook.
- Defrost & Roll: If using frozen puff pastry, remove it from the freezer and let it slightly defrost until pliable but still cold (about 5–10 minutes at room temperature). Lay the pastry on a lightly floured surface or keep it on the plastic film it comes on.
- Spread Your Filling: Evenly spread your chosen filling over the pastry, leaving a small border around the edges:Pesto & Parmesan – Spread a thin layer of pesto and sprinkle with grated parmesan.Pizza – Spread tomato chutney or paste, add chopped ham, cheese, spinach and optional MINGLE Pizza Seasoning.Oomite & Cheese – Spread a thin layer of Oomite (or Vegemite), sprinkle cheese, and optionally open the capsules of Cell Squared desiccated liver and sprinkle on top for an extra nutrient boost.Cottage Cheese & Veg – Mix cottage cheese with finely chopped capsicum, baby spinach, parmesan, salt & pepper, and spread evenly.
- Roll & Slice (two options):For Individual Scrolls: Carefully roll the pastry into a log, starting from the long side for smaller, more delicate scrolls or from the short side for chunkier scrolls. Slice into 1.5–2cm thick rounds using a sharp knife.For One Large Scroll: Roll the pastry into a long log, then take a sharp knife and slice down the middle lengthways so the scroll looks 'opened'. Then, carefully coil the entire scroll into a snail shape, keeping the cut layers exposed for a beautiful effect.
- Egg Wash (Optional for a Golden Finish): Lightly beat one egg and brush over the scrolls before baking. If avoiding eggs, use milk as an alternative for a golden, crispy finish.
- Freeze (Optional): Place the uncooked scrolls on a lined tray and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a container or freezer bag for easy baking when needed.
- Bake: Arrange scrolls on the prepared baking tray, leaving space between each one. If baking from fresh, cook for 10-15 minutes or until golden and puffed. If baking from frozen, add an extra 5 minutes to the cooking time.
- Cool & Serve: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Perfect for lunchboxes, snacks, or an easy meal!
Notes
- Uncooked scrolls: Freeze for up to 3 months and bake straight from frozen.
- Cooked scrolls: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free puff pastry as a substitute.
- Dairy-Free: Swap cheese for cashew cheese or a dairy-free alternative and omit Parmesan.
- Egg-Free: Use a milk wash (any milk of choice) instead of an egg wash for a golden finish.
