Questions about Plain melba toast crackers
How do you make melba toast from ordinary bread?
Toast thin slices lightly, then split each slice horizontally while it is still warm. Cut the untoasted side into small pieces and bake them cut-side up at 120 °C for about 10–15 minutes, until dry and crisp.
What do you serve on melba toast?
Its crisp, neutral flavour works well with smoked salmon and cream cheese, pâté, soft cheese, or hummus. For a canapé, add moist toppings just before serving so the toast stays crunchy.
How do you stop melba toast going soft?
Let it cool completely after toasting, then keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry cupboard. If it loses its crunch, spread it on a baking tray and warm it at 120 °C for a few minutes.
Can you use melba toast instead of crackers?
Yes. Use it for dips, cheese or pâté just as you would a plain cracker; its thin, brittle texture suits small toppings better than heavy or very wet ones.
What is the difference between melba toast and rusks?
Melba toast is usually made by splitting thin slices of toasted bread and crisping the cut side. Rusks are baked until dry and are generally thicker and harder; they can also be sweeter.
How many melba toast crackers make a portion?
A small serving is about six rectangular pieces of roughly 5 g each. That is around 30 g and provides 117 kcal, before adding toppings.
Can you eat melba toast straight from the packet?
Yes. It is already baked and crisp, so you can eat it as it is or top it without further cooking.
