The other day I had planned on having Caesar salad with dinner. I had everything I needed but croutons. So, on my way home from work I stopped by the neighborhood grocery store to pick some up. This is a great little store but it doesn't always have what I'm looking for. Apparently, croutons are on that list as well. I went up and down every aisle looking in any section they may possibly be and couldn't find any. There was a long line at the register so I didn't want to bother the clerk. Well, I stood in the aisle and pulled out my phone and looked up how to make them. It's not hard at all and I had all of the ingredients at home so that's what I did. We both loved them. And they smelled amazing cooking! I will definitely make them again!
Easy Homemade Croutons
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 Tsp dried parsley
1/2 Tsp garlic powder
1/2 Tsp dried oregano
1/4 Tsp salt
1/4 Tsp pepper
1/4 Tsp dried thyme
4 cups cubed bread*
Preheat oven to 375. Combine all ingredients except bread in a bowl. Add the bread and toss to coat, making sure all of the mixture is soaked up by the bread. Spread in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake 10-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until golden brown.
*I used plain white sandwich bread because that is what I had on hand, but any bread should do fine. This worked great!
Enjoy!
