Ingredients

• 4 slices white bread

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the slices of white bread on a clean cutting board.

Step 3

Using a sharp bread knife, trim off the crusts from each slice of bread to create neat, square pieces.

Step 4

Cut each slice diagonally to form two equal triangles.

Step 5

Arrange the triangles in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 minutes, or until the bread is toasted on one side and lightly golden.

Step 7

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs or a spatula to flip each triangle over.

Step 8

Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the second side is golden and crisp.

Step 9

Remove the melba toast from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

Step 10

Serve as is, or pair with your favorite spreads, cheeses, or dips.
