Golden buttered toast spread with a thin layer of dark, salty, deeply umami Vegemite yeast extract — the taste of an Australian morning.

Ingredients

2 slices thick white or wholemeal bread
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp Vegemite

Instructions

1 Toast bread until golden and crisp.
2 Immediately spread butter generously while the toast is hot so it melts into the surface.
3 Spread a very thin, even layer of Vegemite over the butter. Less is more — start thin and add to taste.
4 Cut diagonally and serve immediately while still warm.

Did You Know?

Vegemite was invented in 1922 by Australian chemist Cyril Callister using spent brewer's yeast, and it took a national naming competition to christen it.
