Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Marmite — Marmite has a strong and distinct flavor, so adjust the amount according to your taste preference. Start with a smaller amount and add more if desired.
  • Chips (French fries) — For the best texture, use crispy chips that are cooked until golden brown. Avoid using soggy or undercooked chips.

Tips & Tricks

  • For added flavor, you can sprinkle some grated cheese on top of the chips before closing the sandwich.
  • If you don't have a sandwich press, you can use a regular pan and press the sandwich down with a spatula while cooking.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, such as whole wheat or sourdough, to add variety to the sandwich.
  • If you prefer a softer bread, you can lightly toast it before assembling the sandwich.
  • Serve the sandwich with a side of pickles or coleslaw for a complete meal.

Serving advice

Serve the Marmite and Chip Sandwich hot, either as a standalone meal or with a side of your choice. It pairs well with a simple green salad or a bowl of tomato soup.

Presentation advice

To enhance the presentation, cut the sandwich into triangles or quarters and arrange them on a plate. Garnish with a sprig of fresh herbs, such as parsley or basil, for a pop of color.
