How do you do it without mangling it?

Putting marmite on toast..

It looks like its gone through a shredder! I'm so annoyed by it!! I toast the bread to optimum toasty ness (nearly burnt but not) Then I put the marmite on. No butter. Do I need butter? And I'm actual french salty butter here not margarine.

By the time I'm done spreading it out it's shredding the toast there's a hole in one bit, no marmite in the corners :( am I not using enough?!

Mix your marmite and butter together first-straight onto the hot toast, spreads like a dream

I have had the same problem, my cunning plan is I am going to try and mix up some butter and Marmite in a ramekin hoping to create an easily spreadable combination.

Sibling you beat me to it

You need butter.

Squeeze bottle marmite.

Right I'm going to try it now!!

I use the Squeezy bottle!!

Of course you need butter. Tut. Lots of it. Then the marmite will spread fine. Thinly, mind.

Just dot the Marmite about a bit, don’t try to spread it.

Always butter with marmite! Mmmm

You 100% need butter! And only a tiny spread of marmite, it won’t cover all and that’s ok!

No butter?! Are you mad?

Butter first, lashings of it.

Butter and then bovril. Marmite is bitter bovril

I blame the bread, I’m afraid. Of COURSE you should have butter (and, yes, proper french butter is great - definitely not any margarine shite) I can’t think why you even contemplated this venture without it. Don’t, for pity’s sake, go mixing them together beforehand: let your toast cool slightly, bread the butter (quite thickly), then marmite away. But as I say, I suspect your bread is not up to the task. Rubbishy sandwich bread is like soggy dust when toasted, you need some proper sourdough or similarly robust bread.

I disagree - Lidl buttery spread is amazing.

No it isn't!
You've forgotten what real butter tastes like.
OP, no butter? Seriously?

swap the bread for crumpets...make sure the crumpets are double done in the toaster and it must be real butter. My strange cat then licks the plate....

Does anyone want to share their hot buttery marmite-y toast with me? Don't have any marmite and I'm now craving it

The secret of marmite spreading is not trying to spread it on the toast to scrape it off.

Of course you need butter op. What a travesty!

I can't stand butter with my marmite. Is that weird? I'd rather mangle my toast.

I’m actually shocked that people eat marmite without butter!😱

No Marmite. It's the devil's work.

This is the most stress-inducing thread I've ever read.

Overdone toast and no butter?

What the actually balls is wrong with you?!

Surely if it's just marmite on toast it must be so dry that it just sticks to the roof of your mouth?

Definitely butter.

But you need to let the toast cool down quite a bit or the marmite goes like quicksilver.
