In my visit to Sydney, a couple of breakfasts seemed to be very popular, Avocado Toasts and Vegemite. I figured, why not put them together? Some abhor Vegemite but I have grown to understand its appeal and in this recipe, its saltiness plays well and gives depth to the dressing. If you can’t find Vegemite or are too afraid to use it, soy sauce good be used to replace it. But try the recipe as is if you can!
Ingredients (serves 4)
8 slices french baguette
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
