Made using a yeast free dough, these easy Spinach and Cheese Scrolls can be ready to enjoy in less than one hour!
Scrolls are such an easy snack to make and they really are something everyone in my family enjoys. While I don’t think these Spinach and Cheese Scrolls will knock Vegemite and Cheese and Pizza Scrolls off the top of being my their favourite (because – green!!), they are definitely mine.
How to Make Spinach and Cheese Scrolls
This recipe really couldn’t be more simple to make. The scroll dough is my go to recipe, it’s yeast free (so you can whip these up quickly!) and you just need some basic pantry ingredients to put it together. For the filling, you just need some baby spinach leaves, feta cheese and grated tasty cheese – that is it! You can also use other types of cheeses too, these are great with some mozzarella and parmesan as well.
Tips for Making Spinach and Cheese Scrolls
- You can use different types of cheeses for this recipe. Mozzarella and Parmesan are two of our favourite substitutions.
- You can use frozen spinach for this recipe – just make sure it’s thawed and you have removed the excess moisture from it first.
- It’s important to place the rolled dough into the fridge to chill (especially if you are making these in a warm environment) as this helps the dough to keep it’s shape as you cut the scrolls.
- This recipe will make approximately 12 scrolls – you can make your scrolls bigger or smaller, however this will affect the cooking time.
- To store these scrolls, place in an airtight container and enjoy within 3 – 4 days.
- This recipe is freezer friendly.

At what point do you add the 1/3 of remaining tasty cheese? Is that to sprinkle on top?

My daughter loves scrolls, especially vegemite and cheese. She’s not a big spinach fan so maybe this might be a great way to get to eat some. Great for school lunch.
