Salad Season is on its way. I can feel it! Fresh fruits and vegetables are just waiting to spring up in home gardens every where. And who doesn’t love yummy croutons to top off their salad. I love to make Chef and Cesar salads in the summer for my family with fresh homemade croutons. A few years back I was in a class with a chef who shared his homemade croutons. They are simple and easy. They have no preservatives (which isn’t a problem cuz they probably won’t even make it to a ziploc for later.) These yummy little croutons could even become your evening snack like popcorn only better.
Homemade Croutons Recipe
8 slices Texas Toast
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5 T. melted Butter
1 T. Garlic Seasoning (Get mine at Costco)
Cut toast into 1 inch squares. Melt Butter and mix with seasoning. Place bread and cheese in a large bowl. Pour butter and seasoning over the bread. Toss bread like you do a salad, coating the bread with the butter, seasoning and cheese. Pour onto a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350*. Pull out and turn the croutons. Bake for 10 more minutes. Once cool you can store them in a Ziploc bag if you don’t eat them all right out to of the oven.
They are perfect for a salad or snack on them like popcorn. Delicious!
