I believe the meat version or the meat-free sausage rolls should be quick and easy to prepare (no more than 10 mins of prep please!), yet they should still come out of the oven golden, flaky, crispy and way better then anything you’d get from the refrigerated aisle at the supermarket.These cheese rolls totally hit the spot.
🔪 How to make this vegetarian party food
Full recipe with detailed steps in the recipe card at the end of this post.
Cheese - vegetarian cheese of course, but a lot of the regular cheddar cheeses are vegetarian nowadays.Breadcrumbs -to give stability to the mixture and to prevent the cheese just melting out of the sides in a greasy mess. The mixture will ooze out a little, but the breadcrumbs will ensure it all sticks together.Cream - well that’s for creaminess, but also to help to bind the mixture together.Also spring onions (scallions), black pepper and paprika for flavour and colour.
So we do have a few more ingredients than the meaty sausage rolls, but we’re only talking 3 or 4 minutes extra prep to make something that I’m much more comfortable calling ‘home-made’ 🙂 Start by mixing grated/shredded cheese and breadcrumbs: Then stir in spring onions (scallions), black pepper, paprika and a splash of cream: Next unroll the pastry and slice in half length ways: Spoon in the filling and squash into a rough sausage shape: Brush the edge with egg wash and roll up: 👩🍳PRO TIP Seal the seam of the pastry using a fork, so the pastry doesn’t unravel in the oven: Turn the rolls over and brush with egg wash: Then slice into bite-size rolls: Place in the oven to cook for 12-15 minutes at 220C/425f until golden brown: Look at that filling 😍 As well as being a great party food, they make a great picnic food or kids lunch too. I particularly like that these as something the kids can make themselves with minimal help - which is a lifesaver during the school holidays. Getting my ten and fourteen-year-old to make lunch (I just put the rolls in the oven when they’re made -they can do the rest) is a great way to keep them entertained, and to make them feel proud of their creations. Granted, they’re not quite as neatly rolled (in fact in some cases they’re more like cheese pastry sandwiches - squashed flat with little hands!), but they taste just as good!
