    Croutons

    by Heather on September 2, 2007

    Heather says:

    Have you been laying out good money for boxes of croutons?  Look what you’re getting in a box of Marie Calendar’s Classic Seasoned Croutons:
    How about making the same thing for a fraction of the cost and without all the unpronounceable ingredients?  If you typically don’t have leftover bread, this is a wonderful use for the “day old” or “oops overbaked” specials you often see in the grocer’s bakery department.

    Basic Croutons

    • 2 TBSP butter
    • 2 TBSP Extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 clove garlic – finely minced
    • approx 2 tsp Italian seasoning
    • 4 cups bread cut into cubes

    Preheat the oven to 400F.

    Place the butter, olive oil, garlic, and Italian seasoning in a microwave safe dish.  Microwave on high for approximately 30 seconds, just long enough to melt the butter. Stir.

    In a large bowl toss the cubed bread with the melted butter and seasoning.

    Spread the seasoned bread cubes on a baking sheet, in a single layer.  Bake for 8 – 10 minutes until the bread is toasted.

    Store in an airtight container.
