This isn’t just toast—it’s a full-on flavor resurrection. Bone marrow, often called meat butter, is roasted to perfection and topped with sweet, crispy shallots and a generous hit of Zombie Breath. The result? A decadent, savory starter that’s bold, aromatic, and hauntingly unforgettable. Perfect for high-end zombie gatherings or anytime you're feeling extra primal.
Ingredients:
-
2 beef marrow bones, split lengthwise
-
1 tbsp olive oil
-
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1 tsp Zombie Breath spice blend (plus extra for garnish)
-
4 slices of crusty bread, toasted
-
Fresh parsley or microgreens (optional, for garnish)
💀 Pro tip: Use a hearty bread like sourdough or rustic rye to hold up to the richness of the marrow.
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place marrow bones on a baking sheet, cut-side up.
-
Roast for 15–20 minutes until the marrow is bubbling and slightly pulling from the bone edges.
-
While the bones roast, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy—about 8 to 10 minutes.
-
Toast your bread slices until golden and slightly crunchy.
-
Once the marrow is ready, scoop it out of the bones and spread evenly across the toast.
-
Top with the crispy shallots, a sprinkle of Zombie Breath, and fresh herbs if you’re feeling fancy.
-
Serve immediately while warm and melty.
☠️ Bonus flavor tip: A dash of lemon juice or pickled red onion cuts through the richness with a bright bite.
