MELBA TOAST

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high and toast the bread lightly on both sides.
• Cut off the crusts and then, holding the toast flat, slide a sharp knife between the toasted edges to split the bread so that you now have 8 slices that are toasted only on one side.
• Cut each piece into 4 triangles, and then toast under the broiler, untoasted sides uppermost, until golden and the edges curl.
• Serve warm with soup.
• Alternatively, make Melba toast earlier in the day, and warm for a short time in the oven at 170ºC/ 325ºF/ Gas Mark 3 before serving.

PROPER MELBA TOAST

Steps:

• Toast the bread slices on both sides, under the grill or use a bread toaster.
• Cut off the crusts, lay the slices flat on a cutting board, put your hand on top of it, and using a serrated knife slide through the bread to split it, or hold it in your hand and cut through it rotating the slice of bread.
• If you want, cut these thin slices into a triangle.
• Do these above steps while the bread is still warm otherwise the bread will crumble or break.
• Then you toast the untoasted sides under the grill until golden.
• The sides will curl up; keep your eye on them because this will go very quick.
• This can be made well in advance and kept in a tin.
