How to Make Perfect Toast Points
Ingredients
- 8 lices white bread
- 2 tablespoon butter see note 1, salted
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper see note 2, freshly ground
See note 2 for other seasoning ideas
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.
