Servings: 2 servings

Ingredients
- 2 slices of White bread about 35g/1.25oz each
Instructions
- Remove the crusts from each slice of bread using a sharp knife.
- Lightly toast the bread on both sides until pale golden, usually around 3-4 minutes in a toaster. Don't let it get too dark, as it will be toasted again.
- While the toast is still warm, carefully slice horizontally through the middle of each slice using a serrated knife. You should have four much thinner pieces from your original two slices of bread.
- Cut each thin piece diagonally into four triangles. Two slices of bread should give you sixteen Melba toast triangles.
- Place the triangles on a baking tray with the freshly cut sides facing upwards. Toast under a preheated medium grill for around 1-2 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Watch closely, as they can burn in seconds. Allow to cool before serving.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife to make splitting the toast easier.
- Cut the bread while it is still warm from the first toasting.
- Watch carefully during the second toasting to prevent burning.
- Cut festive shapes before the bread becomes too crispy.
- Save leftover crusts for breadcrumbs.
- Cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
