Ingredients

Vegemite

Unsalted butter
2 tablespoons, softened
Fresh artisan bread
2 slices (sourdough or whole grain recommended)
Optional: Sliced cucumber
2-3 slices
Optional: Avocado
1/4, sliced
Optional: Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives)
to taste, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients for a seamless preparation.
  2. Spread the softened unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of artisan bread. Ensure the butter reaches the edges for maximum flavor.
  3. On the unbuttered side of one slice, spread a thin, even layer of Vegemite. Adjust the amount according to your preference for a stronger or milder taste.
  4. If desired, layer thin slices of cucumber or avocado on top of the Vegemite for added freshness and creaminess.
  5. Place the second slice of bread on top, butter-side down, to create a delicious sandwich.
  6. Press the sandwich gently to help it hold together and enhance the flavors.
  7. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally for a classic presentation and serve immediately. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for an aromatic touch.
