Ingredients
- 5 slices of bread (preferably white or whole wheat)
Instructions
-
Toast the Bread:
- Place the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast them on both sides under the grill or using a bread toaster until they are lightly golden brown.
-
Prepare the Slices:
- Once toasted, remove the crusts from the bread slices.
- Lay the slices flat on a cutting board.
- With your hand on top of the bread slice, use a serrated knife to carefully split the bread horizontally, creating two thinner slices. Alternatively, you can hold the slice in your hand and rotate it while cutting through the middle.
-
Optional: Cut into Triangles:
- If desired, cut the thin slices into triangular shapes for a classic Melba toast presentation.
-
Handle with Care:
- It’s crucial to perform the slicing steps while the bread is still warm to prevent it from crumbling or breaking apart.
-
Final Toasting:
- Place the untoasted sides of the bread slices under the grill once again until they turn golden brown and crisp.
- Keep a close eye on them, as this step happens quickly and you don’t want to over-toast the slices.
-
Curling Up:
- As the toast toasts, you’ll notice the edges start to curl up, indicating that they’re ready.
-
Storage:
- Proper Melba Toast can be made well in advance and stored in an airtight container or tin to maintain its crispiness.
