Ingredients
Instructions
- Trim off crusts, removing half of each bread slice.
- Spread a thin layer of Cheez Whiz on each bread slice.
- Sprinkle with caraway seed and sesame seed.
- Bake in a slow oven until the bread is crisp.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, consider using whole grain or gluten-free bread as a substitute. If you prefer a spicier flavor, try adding a dash of cayenne pepper along with the caraway and sesame seeds. Ensure the Cheez Whiz is spread evenly to prevent soggy bread. Baking at a lower temperature for a slightly longer time can enhance the crispiness without burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Melba Thin Bread as a delightful appetizer at parties or gatherings. It pairs beautifully with Cider Treat for a refreshing drink option. Consider offering a side of 48 Hour Slaw for a crunchy contrast, or serve it alongside a creamy dip for a satisfying snack.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Melba Thin Bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place the slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes, or until warm and crisp. Avoid microwaving, as it can make the bread chewy rather than crispy.
