  • 8 slices white bread
  • 2 tablespoon salted butter - see note 1
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper - see note 2
See note 2 for other seasoning ideas

Instructions

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