Notes

  • Keep an eye after 8 minutes as it gets browned faster after that. Mine got done in 9 mins exactly as my slices were thin. So the baking time depends on the thickness of the bread slice too.
  • You can add crushed garlic or other herbs as per your liking.
  • You can use leftover thick slices of bread for best results.
  • The flavors are endless, you can experiment as per your liking.
