Never tried one. But i like marmite, I like cheese and I like toasties ... so I'm hopeful. I'll try one soon and report back.

I'm genuinely shocked that anyone who likes marmite hasn't put it in a cheese toastie or on cheese on toast.
The main discussion wrt cheese and marmite on toast is whether cheese or marmite goes first, and I feel urban would get down to the nitty gritty of this important debate without hesitation, since we have form and practice in a similar field.

I spread the marmite on the cheese before popping it in the Breville.
I am, admittedly, a novice in this practice though so am keen to ear differing methods.

The people who eat that industrial effluent aren't intelligent enough to see through the marketing.

I keep it simple. Butter the bread, spread the Marmite, add the cheese, plenty of these of course, then pop the sandwich into the sandwich toaster, or, occasionally, into a hot, dry, frying pan.I spread the marmite on the cheese before popping it in the Breville.

Hated by both sides
There are so many different ways to pimp cheese toasties and toasted cheese, though. Nut butters. Pickles. Chutneys. Herbs. Spices. Ham. Chorizo. Nduja. Pesto. Cemen. Worcestershire sauce. Tabasco. In fact, there’s at least a 50% chance that anything in the fridge or the store cupboard would go well with cheese in a toastie. So it’s not weird that even dedicated and enthusiastic marmite eaters haven’t got round to marmite yet.

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!
I came here precisely to drop this knowledge - anyone trying to spread cold marmite onto untoasted bread is on a hiding to nothing; but if you slice your cheese first, smear the cheese with the marmite, and then drop the bread on top, job's a good'un

a complex mass of conflicting ideas
I wish you were closer, I have a panino toaster thing I want rid of!I tend to make a cheese and marmite sandwich, zap it in the microwave for a minute and then put it in the fry pan to toasty up on each side.
I don't have a breville anymore.
And there should always be a maybe option Voley cos NDs like maybe, A LOT!

Marmite on toast, topped with sliced tomato and a poached egg, lots of pepper

Fuck you Dave!
Cheese and marmite on toast is great, also as a kid I used to have cheese, marmite and lettuce sandwiches
existentialist
Tired and unemotional
I don't have a sandwich toaster any more, so I make my toasted sandwiches by toasting bread, grilling the cheese (and Marmite), then putting the top slice on and bashing it flat.

That looks greasy as fuck, but marmite on buttered crumpets is lovely, it goes into all the holes in the crumpet
Have you ever tried marmite? One of my favourite genres of youtube video is people from outside the UK trying marmite for the first time

new but not *that* new
Never had the toastie, but cheese and marmite is delicious so it makes sense. I remember Fopp Cafe in Bath used to do a cheese and marmite baked potato.

Marmite comes out of Satan's hole.
Funny you should say that Farmer. A couple or three years ago, they did a wide-ranging large-scale consumer behavioural study (basically from a humanistic psychological viewpoint of happiness and self-actualisation) and this study was looking into what character differences might be attributable to people who really like Marmite, and those who actively despise it. It seems common that ambivalence, that is to say neither liking it or hating it, is a rare trait. This meant that finding a dichotomous cohort of both lovers and haters was easy - and the findings extraordinary.
Those who self-reported as being lovers of Marmite were statistically considerably more likely to have a far higher corresponding co-occurrence of self-defined social empathy, wit, personal style and, interestingly, a more open-minded approach to life and it's experiences, that led to far higher life satisfaction levels.
Concomitantly, it was found that those who expressed a deep aversion to Marmite (what they would define as "hate", on a sliding scale of emotional responses presented to them) were found on average to be far less happy, less funny, were dressed like errant scarecrows and, interestingly, had a more closed-minded approach to life and it's experiences, that led to lower satisfaction levels, and a lower sense of personal achievement in life.
So, what can be drawn from these studies?
Well, loving Marmite is clearly either a precursor OR a product of you being happy, contented, witty, stylish, basically living your best life with your arms open - lovers of Marmite are far more likely to carry a personal sense of social and emotional balance, what some might term the essential modern success.
Conversely, it's clear that hating Marmite to the point of frothing at one's yeastless maw about just how much one hates it when the subject arises, is either the cause OR the effect of that soul-less, empty, disconnected, gloomy, shabbily-attired dullard kind of feeling, that is one's existence without Marmite (and which one is still somehow, valiantly, admirably able to pass off as a life!)
The jury is out on cause and effect, that was outwith this study's remit. But science. Oh, and there was a very small cross-section of what we might as well call the "maladjusted haters", who recorded a scatological reference when giving their open-ended emotional responses to Marmite. These outliers were deemed by the psychologists to be classifiable WrongUns, and not worth trying to save with pointless empathy, life coaching or behavioural therapies, for example, but rather dealt with by judicial branding, shackling and putting on an island.
Which is strong for the scientific community, but who are we to argue?

Shut the fuck up - that's just propaganda from the marmite marketing board.
