Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 400°F/200ºC.
Melt the butter in the microwave or in a small pan on the hob.
Use a serrated knife and a sawing action to cut the crusts from the slices of bread. (see note 3)
Lightly brush 1 side of bread with butter mixture. Sprinkle with pepper
Cut each slice of bread into 4 triangles.
Place the bread, buttered sides up, onto a baking sheet.
Bake 6-8 minutes or until golden and toasted.
Allow to cool on a rack for at least 30 minutes.

Once cooled your toast points can be stored in an airtight container for unto 24 hours.

Notes

If you are using unsalted butter then sprinkle your toast points with a scant ¼ teaspoon of salt.
For additional seasoning ideas try:

Onion powder garlic powder/garlic salt cayenne pepper dried oregano dried basil cajun seasoning (great with seafood) cinnamon (skip the pepper and serve with sweet dips)
Onion powder
garlic powder/garlic salt
cayenne pepper
dried oregano
dried basil
cajun seasoning (great with seafood)
cinnamon (skip the pepper and serve with sweet dips)
Using a serrated knife and a sawing action doesn't compress the edges of your bread. this gives you a better shaped toast point, that will crisp more evenly and won't have crumbly edges.
