Method:
- Lightly grill your bread on one side
- Cut off the crusts
- Lay the toast down flat and using a serrated knife, cut through the bread horizontally so it’s about 5mm thick
- This produces two thinner pieces the same size
- Cut the slices into a triangle
- Now toast the untoasted side under the grill until golden and the side will curl up (keep your eye on them because this will happen quickly)
- Arrange on a plate with a ramekin of pâté or rillettes
- Add gherkins or cornichons, if desired
Tom's top tip: Cut the bread whilst it's still warm otherwise the bread will crumble or break
