Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 slices stale firm-textured white bread
1 tablespoon or more softened unsalted butter, or 1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F.
  • Trim crusts from bread and discard.
  • Lightly butter both sides of each slice (or, if you prefer, first blend butter with crushed garlic). I often substitute fruity extra-virgin olive oil for butter, sometimes plain, sometimes mixed with 1/4 teaspoon crushed garlic. Because bread absorbs more oil than softened butter, 1 1/2 tablespoons oil is about right.
  • Cut each buttered slice into 1/3-inch cubes and spread in a single layer, not touching, on an ungreased large baking sheet.
  • Slide onto the middle oven shelf and toast about 15 minutes until pale tan.
  • Use croutons as the recipe directs.

I love that this recipe is so easy to follow. I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make these croutons without any problems.

These croutons are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf of bread that's about to go stale, so I make these croutons and they're always a hit.
