Quick Croutons
- To make your own croutons cut day-old white bread into small cubes. Saute in a little olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat, tossing frequently until crisp and golden, about 5 minutes. For extra flavor, add a little finely chopped garlic or chopped fresh herbs - delicous. Just crush fresh garlic and mix with olive oil. Brush the mixture on your bread cubes (or put bread cubes in a bowl and toss with oil until evenly coated)
- Alternate way to cook: Brown in your oven at 400 degrees. Watch carefully until the croutons are golden brown, then remove from oven - you don't want to over cook them as they'll get too crunchy.

Topping Ideas for Your Croutons
- Parmesan cheese
- Dried Parsley
- Dry ranch dressing mix - this one is a favorite among many, including yours truly!
- Onion salt
- Oregano
- Dill
If desired and/or preferred, you can use butter in place of the olive oil. Lends a wonderful buttery flavor if that's a preferred taste for you.
