Description

An easy crouton recipe to dress your salads and soups!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 slices multi-grain bread*
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried majoram
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Get your three pieces of bread.  Simple sandwich bread works fine; the oil and herbs transform it into something special!  Slice it into cubes.  Put your cubes in a medium bowl.  Drizzle with olive oil and herbs and toss to coat.  Spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, giving the pan a good shake after about 5 minutes.  Then, turn on the broiler and broil for one minute to help them get nice and crispy.

Notes

*You can use a multitude of different breads to make this.  Sourdough works great, too.  I often use the otherwise unwanted ends of my bread loaves to make my homemade croutons.
