Even though this is a quick recipe and I work from home i sometimes literally don’t have time to stand over a cooker to make it, so I make a batch of it and freeze in portions. Take out of freezer in the morning, 3 minutes in the microwave while you burn the toast, give it a stir and it tastes exactly like you just made it. Also means you can take advantage of all those reduced priced mushrooms in the shops and you only have to clean up the pans once…win win!

OMG, can I start by saying I do NOT like marmite but these looked so good I just had to try them. After staying at a hotel with small pots of marmite, I thought I would try them. Needless to say I will be buying a jar. Had them with ryvita and a fried egg mmmmm
