One loaf, good quality, thin sliced white bread. Butter lightly if you wish.

Toast points are easily made at home and are the best accompaniment to fresh caviar. Points are great, but it is fun to make different shapes, like hearts, stars, or rounds with cookie cutters.

Trim the crusts and slice in half on the diagonal, twice, to form 4 triangles. Place the bread in a single layer on a baking sheet.

Bake the bread in a preheated 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn't become too dark.

Cool the "points" on a baking rack.
