Marmite with Cheese on Toast is instant Win!

Marmite with Cheese on Toast is instant Win!

For those, like me, that like this, try :-

- toast (I prefer thick sliced)
- spread on a thin layer of marmite
- add thinly sliced tomato
- add grated cheese (I prefer Cathedral City)
- grill until bubbling, and just starting to brown.

Yum.

Alternative - replace marmite with Pesto.


Gotta go, I'm hungry now. Be back when I'm not.

Yes I have that quite often Saracen, garnishing with basil works well too (especially when using pesto).

For the ultimate cheese on toast though you need Lea & Perrins.

When i lived in abroad i had to plan to ensure i had a plentiful supply of essentials such as marmite at all times.

I love marmite. I also love cheese on toast. But have never had both together or heard of this before.

Please advise what is the optimum methodology/technique to create/appreciate this fine sounding revelation?

1) Toast some bread- but not too dark. I think a wholemeal/seedy bread is best for these.
2) Put on some butter/marg once toasted- essential or you get clumps of marmite on the dry toast.
3) Spead on your preffered amount of marmite- although a foot think does not really work here
4) Use mature cheddar cheese cut finely- you want the heat to get to the marmite too.
5) Grill until bubbling!

You can also make 'twiglet' toast too. Basically toast the wholemeal bread and spread on marmite quite thickly to the unbuttered toast. Grill until it dries out and bubbles.

I made quite a lot of both whilst wifey was pregnant!

Oh, I do have it and use it sometimes too. It's about 4th or 5th on my list of cheese on toast variations.

Its astonishing how versatile cheese on toast is .... and for that matter, how versatile Marmite is, too.

[Saracen]

ROFL.

And you won't see me say that very often.

Variety is the spice of life, dude.

Thanks for that.

Sounds great, will give it a try this Saturday morning

This is VERY politically incorrect, but I like my toast buttered, "black-shirted" and dunked into soft boiled egg. "Buttered Fascists" for breakfast anybody?

But seriously though, I love the balance between the "softer" flavour of soft boiled egg and the kick of Marmite. Soft boiled quail eggs lightly dipped in "whiskeyed" Marmite is also fantastic.

Personally, I don't bother with the butter/marg. I prefer the marmite to be a hint, that adds flavour rather than being too strong, so it gets a very light spreading. It doesn't even need to cover the bread fully to add flavour. And I prefer it without the extra fat from butter or marg. That goes a bit greasy for me. But it's all a matter of personal preference, of course, and as with most things in cooking, I find getting it how I like it often requires experimentation.

One thing. I also find that grated cheese grills better than sliced. I guess it's to do with exposed surface area or something, but it just seems to work better. Also, if it's sliced and you've got marmite, or tomato or something on first, sometimes the toasted cheese detaches. It never does if I grate it. I was surprised at how much difference it made.

Especially good if you're using something like a baguette. Top off with Lincolnshire Poacher and a scraping of fresh Parmesan, plus a couple of Anchovies on top maybe..

As for Marmite tho, the addition of some finely chopped fresh chilli can enhance the flavour no end .

Nope, Henderson's Relish.

Your method is probably ok for standard sliced bread but we make our own and the texture ends up a bit ridgey when toasted, so not putting butter on ends up with disasterous concentrations. I guess this also helps the cheese stick! I do think that you have to adapt to your bread and if using shop bought standard sliced bread you can go without the spread!

Or as an alternative to a baguette, Ciabatta. Yum.

As for Anchovies ... the work of the devil in person. They may well be where the "love 'em or hate 'em" advert really would be true. Me? Hate 'em.
