Preheat the oven to 220℃. Roll out the sheet of pastry and place onto a chopping board.
Spread a thin layer of Marmite all over the pastry and sprinkle over the grated cheese.
Roll the pastry up lengthways, and use a little egg wash to seal the ends together.
Slice the pastry roll into 1.5cm thick slices, and place on a baking tray, lined with greaseproof paper.
Brush a little egg wash over each swirl.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes and dig in.
