Do you have a recipe for croutons?
Homemade Croutons
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
Cut the crusts from 6 slices of day-old bread. Cube the bread to the size you desire. In a skillet over high heat, melt 2 Tbsp of butter and 2 Tbsp of olive oil. Add bread cubes and stir until coated on all sides. If you want flavored croutons, you can add herbs or garlic powder at this point.
Put croutons on a cookie sheet, and bake until crisp and light brown in color.
After the croutons have cooled, you can store them in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
