  I made my own pastry and forgot the marmite but these were still really tasty and made loads. I brushed the tops with milk instead of egg and they browned nicely. Great recipe, will definitely make this again. Very easy.

  "Marmite or a vegetarian alternative"?? Marmite doesn't contain any meat products, like Vegemite it is made from yeast. Fancy a cook not knowing that :)

  These were great hot or cold, very easy to make and I do love marmite but there isn't that much in them to overpower the recipe.

  2 tbsp Marmite? Should it be 2 tsp? That's a hell of a lot of Marmite and it is really salty. I think whoever devised this recipe must be confusing Bovril with Marmite. Bovril comes from beef but Marmite is yeast extract as Fatface said above. By the way, I have tried Vegemite and it is not as nice as Marmite! So the Aussies can keep it!!

  I found that 2tbsp of marmite seemed to be about right - you don't have to use it all but you need a certain amount in the pan to ensure it melts right.

  I made these yesterday and they're lovely. 2tbsp of marmite is exactly the right amount - you add a small bit of water to it and I used it all. There wasn't an overpowering taste of marmite and they weren't too salty. I'll definitely be making these again.

  I made these this evening and very simple (though a bit time consuming) but I wouldn't rave about them - although I am more used to puff pastry for pasties (as my Mum used to make as kids) so I could be biased! The filling however is delish! We didn't have as much pastry as the recipe needed but I didn't realise until I'd made the full amount of filling, so I just made the remaining into potato cakes and fried them to cook through and they are super!

  fatface i think you read the recipe wrong. its not talking about marmite when it says 'or a vegetarian alternative'. its refering to the cheese. hope this helps

  These were very time consuming to make and although the final result was ok, it wasn't good enough to merit all the effort

  Made these with puff pastry, pretty good out of the oven, but I thought they were even better cold! I think I will use more marmite next time as I love it, and the marmit-iest bits were the tastiest!

  Hubby and kids loved these, giving them 9/10. I liked them, but would either reduce the marmite or replace with a smidge of brown sauce instead (would that work?). I like marmite, but it was too much for me!

  I think some people are mis-reading this recipe - the "or vegetarian alternative" is applying to the cheese, not the marmite.
