Adding Marmite to avocado on toast can transform the dish, making it 'life changing' according to food experts. The World Avocado Organisation advocates pairing avocado with Marmite, calling the combination 'totally delicious'.
The Flavour Boost
Mashed avocado on toast is a simple yet satisfying meal, known for its creamy texture and health benefits. However, some find the flavour a bit bland on its own. Marmite, with its salty, rich, and savoury taste, adds depth and contrasts perfectly with the buttery avocado.
Food experts recommend spreading a thin layer of Marmite on toast before adding mashed avocado on top. This simple step gives the dish a much-needed kick of flavour. From there, you can add extra toppings like mushrooms, tomatoes, or soft-boiled eggs.
Expert Endorsement
Recipe developer Faith VanderMolen from The Conscientious Eater said: 'Marmite Avocado Toast – life changing! Once you add Marmite to your avocado toast, you'll never go back!' She advises not to try Marmite plain, as it is very salty and rich, but to spread a thin layer on toast and top with something creamy like avocado.
The World Avocado Association shared a recipe using four slices of whole-grain bread, one ripe avocado, 8oz of mushrooms, 1tbsp of Marmite, 1tbsp of olive oil, and seasonings. The method: heat olive oil, cook mushrooms until golden, toast bread, spread Marmite, top with avocado and mushrooms, and finish with chilli flakes and black pepper.
