Can anyone explain about melba tost?
Melba toast is a very dry, crisp, thinly sliced toast. It is served with soups and salads, or topped with melted cheese. It is named after Dame Nellie Melba, the stage name for Australian opera singer Helen Porter Mitchell, and is thought to date back to 1897, a year when the singer was very ill and this kind of toast became a staple of her diet. Here’s a recipe * 1 long thin loaf of French bread * butter, softened * fresh grated Parmesan cheese Slice loaf into 1/4-inch slices. Spread slices with butter then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Place on a cake rack or other rack over a baking sheet, so drips will be caught and air will move around the slices.Bake at 325° for about 20 minutes, or until dry and very crispy.
