What You’ll Need

- Marmite: 1 teaspoon, just enough to add that special zing without overpowering
- Avocado: 1 ripe avocado, perfectly creamy and totally dreamy

- Salt and Pepper: to taste, because seasoning is key, right?
- Lemon Juice: optional, a squeeze for brightness, if you’re into that
Easy How-To
Toast Your Bread
Okay, first, just pop your chosen bread into the toaster. Not all the way to charcoal, just until it’s golden and crispy… a little crunch makes all the difference! While that’s happening, you can get everything else ready.
Whip Up the Cream Cheese
In a little bowl, mix your softened cream cheese until it’s all smooth and lovely. You want it spreadable, not chunky, if you know what I mean… This creamy layer is going to be your base, and it’s super important, so don’t rush it!
Add the Marmite
Now, here comes the Marmite—take a teaspoon of it, and spread it over the cream cheese. Not too thick, just a gentle layer, so the flavor shines through. Trust me, this savory punch is what makes it all sing.
Prep Your Avocado
Slice your avocado in half, take out that pit (careful, careful!), and scoop out the lovely green goodness into another bowl. Mash it up with a fork to your liking—smooth or a bit chunky, it’s up to you!
Season the Avocado
Alright, add a pinch of salt and, if you’re feeling adventurous, a squeeze of lemon juice. This just brightens everything up and makes it taste even fresher, you know?
Assemble the Toast
Finally, spread that delicious avocado mash over your Marmite-cream cheese toast. Go crazy—be generous! And if you want to jazz it up even more, sprinkle on some chili flakes or fresh herbs. It looks pretty too, which is always a bonus!
Good to Know
- If you have leftover avocado, store it in an airtight container with a bit of lemon juice; it’ll help stop it from browning.
- You can make this toast vegan by swapping out the cream cheese for something plant-based…
- Experiment with different toppings—cherry tomatoes, radishes, or even a poached egg can really take this to the next level.
Serving Ideas
- This toast is fab on its own, but a fresh side salad or some sliced tomatoes would really round out the meal.
Top Tricks
- For the tastiest toast, use good quality bread, and don’t skip the toasting step—it just makes everything better!
