Vegemite on Toast – The Ultimate Australian Breakfast Staple Discover how to make Vegemite on toast the Australian way! Learn the secret to getting the perfect balance of salty, savory flavor on your breakfast toast. Simple, quick, and packed with umami. What Is Vegemite on Toast? Vegemite on toast is one of Australia’s most beloved breakfast rituals. This salty, yeast-extract spread is a cultural icon—loved by Aussies, misunderstood by many! When made right, it’s rich, satisfying, and full of B vitamins. Ingredients (1 Serving) 1–2 slices of bread (white, wholegrain, or sourdough) Butter or margarine (softened) 1/2 to 1 tsp Vegemite (adjust to taste) Instructions 1. Toast the Bread Toast your bread until golden and crisp—firm enough to hold the toppings without becoming soggy. 2. Butter Generously Spread butter evenly while the toast is still warm. It should melt slightly into the bread. 3. Add Vegemite Sparingly Using a small amount of Vegemite, spread a very thin layer over the buttered toast. Tip: Less is more—this spread is strong and salty! 4. Serve Immediately Cut into triangles or soldiers and enjoy with tea, coffee, or a glass of juice. Vegemite Toast Variations Avocado + Vegemite: Add sliced avocado for a creamy, savory twist. Egg + Vegemite: Top with a poached or fried egg for a protein-packed breakfast. Cheese + Vegemite: Add grated or melted cheese for an umami-loaded snack.
