Don’t get me wrong. I’m a big fan of marmite. But I’m not an animal. I have it on toast, or a bagel, or maybe a toastie if I’m feeling reckless.
But my son wants marmite sandwiches. Sandwiches! How is it possible to spread marmite on bread without the bread disintegrating? Is there a technique that in my five decades on this earth I have not been able to master?
But my son wants marmite sandwiches
28 years old, he is.
Maybe try and pre-mix the marg and the marmite?
Dunno. They sell hummus and marmite mixed together. I suspect we have Paul McCartney to blame, 'cos he’s popularised that challenging combo.
this is probably really not the way but I heat up the marmite just enough to get it runny
Don’t microwave the whole jar!
Heat it up in a spoon like a crack addict. Also, just pouring boiling water on your butter knife can work wonders.
if I have the time and effort I’ll heat the knife on one of my burners for a minute, but usually do I just microwave the whole jar for 15 seconds on low
Is there any butter/marg on this at all?
That’s where your problem is.
Nice layer of whatever fatty goodness (if you don’t have the “spreadable” kind, leave it out so it is), then the marmite goes on to that, spreads no problem and tastes nicer!
Now you’ve made me want a marmite sandwich and I have no bread in the house. 😥😂
you can see in the photo op has clumps of butter stuck into the bread. They are spreading the butter straight from the fridge
There is spreadable butter on here, some has already melted at room temp so it’s not that visible. But it’s a tricky balancing act with the wee man. Too much butter is a negative, but he needs to be able to see it also. I’m hoping he mellows as he grows older, but I suspect that’s a vain hope! I shall try and perfect my technique. I’ve almost always been a toast and martite person, so I think this is a just a life skill I have never learned properly.
Best advice I can give in that case is make sure all the ingredients are at room temp, otherwise there’s no escaping the torn bread situation.
The other option is make them as toast the night before and serve them cold and a little soggy the next morning? Sounds a little bad spelled out like that, but I’d eat that no issue. 🤷♀️

Toast the bread first
