About Melba toast

Melba Toast is a thin, crisp, twice-baked bread slice often enjoyed as a light snack or accompaniment to meals. Named after opera singer Nellie Melba, this toast originated in Europe and became a staple in classic cuisine. Made from white or whole-grain bread, its preparation involves slicing the bread thinly, toasting it, and baking it again for added crunch. Melba Toast is low in fat and calories, making it a popular choice for those seeking a healthier alternative to traditional crackers. It is a versatile option for pairing with soups, salads, dips, or soft cheeses. While it is generally a healthier snack, its nutritional value depends on the type of bread used, with whole-grain varieties offering added fiber and nutrients. However, it may lack significant protein or healthy fats, so it’s best balanced with nutrient-rich toppings.
