Florentine-Style Rusk
I got bread crust from the bakery and thought of baking rusks but wanted to add toppings. Then, I found almost-expired sliced almonds in my refrigerator! It falls off if you just put them on so I mixed it with caramel like a florentine biscuit and it turned out be amazing!
The caramel gets dark (and bitter) when you heat it too quickly over strong heat so make sure you heat it slowly over low heat.
Here, I used 3 slices of crust I got from the bakery but you can also use any bread you like such as white bread or slices of french baguette. Depending on the thickness of the bread you will need to adjust baking times. Recipe by yaburie

Rusk-style Bread Crusts Rusk-style Bread Crusts
I love 5 slice (2.4-cm thick) sandwich bread, but it's hard to divide among three people! When I baked these up, they were a big hit! Since we are big eaters, this recipe was created out of desperation!I'm envious of families where everyone eats only 1 slice of bread each. Just today, my son ate 3 slices plus these bread crusts.Every toaster oven is different, so adjust this to suit your oven; bake these to the point where you think they might have baked for a bit too long. Keep an eye on them or they'll burn! Recipe by Team yokin

Use whatever type of sugar you prefer, I used light brown sugar. Mix in some cocoa powder or cinnamon for a change. You can make approximately 6 hearts with one slice of bread. Recipe by Sakura -
Easy Rusk with Sandwich Bread in 5 Minutes Easy Rusk with Sandwich Bread in 5 Minutes
Rusks are so expensive when you buy them at bakery stores. I wanted to make them easily and in an inexpensive way, so I came up with my version by referencing a variety of recipes.I use 5-slice loaf (thickly sliced) bread for these rusks, split them in half down its side, and microwave at 600 W. Adjust the microwaving time according to the thickness of the bread, and model of microwave oven. The moisture in the bread might not evaporate completely or on the other hand, it might burn on you, so keep an eye on them.I think it will also be fun, to cut out the bread into shapes with your child.

Easy Baked Sandwich Bread Rusk in the Toaster Oven Easy Baked Sandwich Bread Rusk in the Toaster Oven
I made these because I had won some Rama Brand margarine.-Microwave the bread to evaporate the moisture. Microwave again if needed ♪ (This is important.)-Microwave for a bit longer if using a 6 slice loaf.-When spreading the margarine, wait until the bread has cooled. The sugar will stick better that way.-I usually spread chocolate on the pieces that didn't shape or brown nicely. Recipe by Sayao -
