Can you guess what I put on my toast?
Or
Are you even interested what I put on my toasts?
After this, I can officially be named the LAZIEST FOOD BLOGGER in the blogosphere for putting toasts on post for the fourth time (other toasts recipes can be found here under “toasts and sandwiches”)!
Allow me to present you with tiger toasts – a fun way of making cheese and Vegemite toasts!
I realise this may be wayyyyy… too much Vegemite for some of you, which I can totally understand. Therefore please add another plain slice of toast to mellow down the “Vegemite” effect.

Tiger Toasts (basically a patterned cheese & vegemite toast)
(adapted from Gourmet Sandwiches by Suzanne Blythin)
To make 2 toasts
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread (brown/white)
- 1 slice of cheese
- Some Vegemite
Methods:
- Preheat your oven grill / use the “top heat” settings and set the temperature to 200 degree Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Lightly toast the fresh bread (From my toaster heat setting no.1 to 9, I toast the bread on 1).
- Spread the Vegemite on the toasts.
- Use a kitchen scissor and cut out the stripes (mimicking “tiger stripes”) and arrange them on on top of the toasts to your liking.
- Put under the grill and cook until cheese has melted (about 3 minutes).
Wow!! This sounds so yummy and looks so cool!
Thanks Steph! I love Vegemite so this is really delicisous to me…glad that you find it interesting.
Cant say the marmite is for me but i wish it was so i could make this for brekkie tomorrow! Cute little idea, maybe i will have to do a raspberry…lemon curd..version..? i wonder!
Actually I was thinking about blueberry/blackberry jam with rows of ricotta… Your idea sounds like a plan!
I’ve never tried Vegemite before, but these toasts look awesome =)
Vegemite is an acquired taste….It took me a while to love it but when I do, I fall hard!! lol (as evident by the thick slap of vegemite on my toasts)
Sounds and looks pretty good to me.
Thanks for the compliment Curt!
Don’t be sorry for posting toasts! I love toasts and your tiger toasts look awesome and delicious to me. What I don’t exactly know about is the Vegemite spread? Pretty interesting when you mentioned about its taste. Seems to me that not a lot of people are big fans of it. Can you enlighten me more about this Vegemite?
Hi Alison! Thanks for your kind words.
Vegemite is a spread made out of yeast extract…I’m not sure whether you have had marmite or bovril before…it’s quite similar but it’s a non-meat version.
It’s a quite popular choice of spread in Australia. Usually you slather some butter on the toast first, then spread a tiny bit of vegemite over it. Until recently, the company has released a new product line called Vegemite Cheesybite which a mix of vegemite and cream cheese.
To describe its taste, it is quite salty if you have a lot….and a slight hint of bitterness. It doesn’t appear too impressive in words…it is something you have to try once…especially you’re in Australia, lol.
I like salty food and I eat bitter melon so I guess Vegemite would pass for me. Plus it has cream cheese and I’m a sucker for cheese so… I guess I have to try it then! Thanks for describing
my pleasure!
