Australia is a land known for its unique culinary creations. From Tim Tams to lamingtons, we embrace bold flavours and unexpected combinations. But when it comes to the breakfast table, few things are as iconic as the humble Vegemite toast. This salty, umami spread has been a staple in Aussie kitchens for generations.
However, for some, the intense flavour of Vegemite can be a bit much. That's where we, at 99th Monkey, come in with a revolutionary idea that takes the classic Vegemite toast to a whole new level: introducing the Salted Cashew Butter Twist.
A Match Made in Heaven: Avocado and Vegemite
Let's start with the classic pairing – avocado and Vegemite. This dynamic duo has taken social media by storm, and for good reason. The creamy richness of the avocado perfectly complements the salty, savoury notes of Vegemite. It's a textural and taste bud explosion that keeps you coming back for more.
The Salted Cashew Butter Twist: Adding Depth and Dimension
But what if we told you there was a way to elevate this already delicious combination? Enter the magic of 99th Monkey Salted Cashew Butter.
Here's why this addition is pure genius:
- Creamy Contrast: The smooth, creamy texture of our Salted Cashew Butter provides a delightful mouthfeel that takes the bagel experience to a whole new level.
- Flavour Enhancement: The cashews in our nut butter boast a subtle sweetness and a nutty richness that complements the savoury notes of Vegemite without overpowering them. It adds a new dimension of flavour that keeps your taste buds intrigued with every bite.
- Salty Symphony: The touch of salt in our Salted Cashew Butter harmonises beautifully with the saltiness of the Vegemite. It creates a complex flavour profile that's both satisfying and addictive.
- Healthy Fats: Avocado and cashews are both excellent sources of healthy fats, making this a surprisingly nutritious breakfast option. These fats also contribute to a feeling of satiety, keeping you feeling fuller for longer.
