Ingredients
- 2 slices of bread
- Butter
- Vegemite
Instructions
- Remove the bread slices from the package and ensure they are at room temperature.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Allow the pan to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Take the butter and let it soften slightly at room temperature to make spreading easier.
- Using a butter knife, spread a thin, even layer of butter across one side of each bread slice. Ensure complete coverage from edge to edge.
- Place the buttered bread slices onto the heated skillet, butter-side down. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes until the bread turns golden brown and crispy.
- While the bread is toasting, open the Vegemite jar and have a butter knife ready for spreading.
- Once the bread is golden and crisp, remove from the skillet and place on a clean plate, toasted side up.
- Carefully spread a thin layer of Vegemite across the toasted surface. Be cautious, as Vegemite has a strong, concentrated flavor.
- Allow the toast to cool for 30-60 seconds before serving to prevent burning your mouth.
- Cut diagonally if desired, and serve immediately while still warm and crisp.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bread: For the best results, opt for a hearty bread like sourdough or whole grain. This will enhance the texture and flavor of your toast.
- Butter Temperature Matters: Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy spreading. If it's too hard, it can tear the bread.
- Perfect Toasting: Keep an eye on the bread as it toasts. Every stove is different, so adjust the heat as needed to achieve that perfect golden-brown color without burning.
- Spread Sparingly: Vegemite is known for its strong flavor, so start with a thin layer and adjust according to your taste. You can always add more!
- Serving Suggestions: Pair your Vegemite toast with a side of fresh avocado or a sprinkle of cheese for an extra layer of flavor and nutrition.
- Enjoy While Warm: Serve your toast immediately while it’s still warm and crispy for the best experience.
