Croutons
Why eat croutons from a package? Have you ever looked at the ingredients? I make them fresh from a loaf of bakery-fresh Italian or French bread.
Slice the bread in small cubes, or chunks. Throw it all in a dry, hot pan, and sauté them for a couple minutes with no oil. Then drizzle on some olive oil, 1/3 cup or so, add chopped garlic, salt, pepper, and stir. Cook them this way until they start to dry out, 30 minutes or so. Add more seasoning, like basil, onion powder, garlic powder, rosemary… whatever you like. Serve immediately. Don’t save these for more than a few days. No preservatives means no shelf life!
