Egg sandwiches can be made significantly tastier by adding a simple ingredient before serving: Marmite, according to Mimi Morley, Senior Recipe Development Manager at HelloFresh. While many people rely on mayonnaise for flavor, Morley recommends spreading Marmite on the bread with butter before adding the egg mixture.
Why Marmite Works
Marmite, a concentrated yeast extract, adds a deep, savory flavor that complements the mild taste of eggs. Its saltiness cuts through the richness of egg yolks, and its sticky texture contrasts well with soft, creamy eggs. Morley stated: "Marmite! Spread on your bread with your butter before adding your egg mixture. The saltiness with the egg is elite."
How to Use Marmite in Egg Sandwiches
There are two recommended methods. First, thinly spread Marmite directly on the bread before assembling the sandwich. Alternatively, make a Marmite butter by blending Marmite with softened butter, then spread it generously on the bread before adding the eggs. A little goes a long way, so use caution to avoid overpowering the dish.
This hack is particularly useful for those seeking to inject more flavor into egg sandwiches, which are a popular choice for lunch or breakfast due to their taste and filling nature. The guidance comes as part of ongoing food advice from HelloFresh, which has thousands of Instagram followers.
