These croutons are so scrumptious! In the summer, they are a wonderful addition to salads. In the winter, they are simply delishious used to top soups (Especially French Onion Soup or Tomato Soup). It is a great way to use old bread. I like crusty loaves of French or Italian or Sourdough, but just about any bread will do! You might make a double batch so some actually make it to the table! :-) Just kidding...Or am I?
1/4 olive oil
4 cloves freshly minced garlic
2T fresh parsley, diced (or 2 tsp dried)
2T fresh basil, diced (or 2 tsp dried)
pepper to taste
10 thick slices of stale bread
Put oven on 350F. Combine the first 5 ingrediants in a bowl. Cut bread into fat cubes and toss in oil mixture. Bake on a cookie sheet for 10-15 minutes. Or you can fry the in a well oil skillet whcih is my favorite way to do it, because you get that grilled cheese effect with crisp out side soft inside.
