Notes
- Keep an eye after 10 mins as it gets browned faster after that. Mine got done in 12 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. My slices were thin so it got done quickly.
- The flavours are endless, you can experiment as per your liking.
