Equipment

  • Bread Knife & Chopping Board
  • Non-Stick Pan & Spatula/Turner

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of Tiger Bread (see notes)
  • 3-4 square slices of Red Leicester
  • 3-4 square slices of Cheddar
  • 4 tsp Marmite, or to taste (see notes)
  • Butter, as needed

Instructions

  • Spread one side of all of your slices of bread with butter, then flip so they're butter-side-down. Spread a thin layer of marmite over each slice (careful, a little goes a long way!) then top 2 of the slices with cheese. Place the remaining two slices on top of the cheese marmite-side-down/butter-side-up.
  • Add to a non-stick pan over medium heat and fry both sides until golden, with the cheese just starting to ooze out. Serve up and enjoy!

Notes

a) Marmite - If you've never tried Marmite before I recommend being very conservative when spreading as it is quite pungent! If you know you like it, but only in small quantities, consider just spreading one slice. 
b) Vegemite - If you're reading this from AUS yes Vegemite is a great sub!
c) Bread - I love using Tiger Bread (very popular in the UK), but you can really use any bread you fancy. I recommend something slightly firm like a Sourdough, and slice it fairly thick. Don't use thin soft sandwich bread!
d) Cheese - If you don't have Red Leicester just sub more Cheddar. If you only have a block you can just grate it. Around 1 cup / 100g per sandwich will be enough.
e) Serve - Here I've served with Roasted Tomato Soup which goes superbly!
f) Calories - Per sandwich assuming 1 tbsp butter and 3.5oz/100g cheese per sandwich:
