Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices of white bread

Instructions

  • Toast the Bread in your Toaster - or on both sides under the grill
  • Cut the crusts off the bread and then with a very sharp knife, cut through the depth of the bread to make four thin slices

  • Heat your grill or oven
  • Cut each slice of bread in half or quarter (depending on the size of toasts required) to make triangles and press down to remove any lumps of bread

  • Put the triangles uncooked side up under the grill or in the oven and cook till golden brown. You should find they curl up a little


  • Serve with soup, cheese, pate or dips. They will keep in an airtight tin for a few days. The crusts can be used to make breadcrumbs.
