EASY CRUNCHY GARLIC CROUTONS RECIPE



Easy Crunchy Garlic Croutons Recipe image

Croutons are a great garnish for green salads and (as with any croutons), toss them in at the very last minute to prevent them from getting soggy. You want your bread to be at least a day old. It'll be easier to cut and holds it's shape better. We used my mom's ultra soft wheat bread (Visit NatashasKitchen.com for the video and photo tutorial). You could also use a basic french bread with great results.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 lb loaf of bread ((5 cups of bread cubes))
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 medium garlic cloves (pressed)
1 Tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped, or 1 tsp dried parsley)
