Easy How-To
Let’s get started!
Okay, first up—toast that bread! Get it nice and golden, crispy, just right, you know? Once that’s done, grab your cream cheese and spread it generously on each slice while it’s still warm. This really lets it melt into the bread just a bit. Now, take the Marmite, and, um, spread a dollop on top, but adjust it based on how much you like that intense flavor… It can be strong, so a little goes a long way! Next, slice your avocado—cut it in half, scoop it out, and slice those lovely pieces. Now, carefully arrange those slices on your toast, covering the creamy layers beneath. A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, maybe a squeeze of lemon juice if you’re feeling it, and that’s it! Serve up your toast immediately while it’s fresh and enjoy!
Good to Know
- Feel free to play around with different breads—like a hearty rye or even a bagel!
- If you’re not a Marmite fan, try switching it up with a savory pesto for something different.
- For the ripeness of your avocado, it should give just a bit when gently pressed—like a gentle embrace!
Serving Ideas
- Pair your toast with a side of fresh fruit or a crisp salad for a complete meal.
Top Tricks
- To keep your avocado from browning, use lemon juice on it if you’re not eating it right away.
