Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White or whole wheat bread
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and well combined.
Spread a thin but even layer of the mayonnaise mixture onto one side of each bread slice.
Cut each slice of bread into strips or triangles, depending on your preferred shape.
Arrange the bread pieces mayo-side up on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of paprika over the top for added flavor and color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the rusks to cool completely on a wire rack. They will become even crispier as they cool.
Serve as a snack or alongside soups, salads, or dips. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
