Home Made Croutons - Real Recipes from Mums

I will never buy croutons again, these are so much cheaper and so tasty that it’s hard not to keep nibbling on them while they cool down. You could even just cut them into long finger style and use for dips.

Ingredients (serves 4)

15 Slices Bread
1/4 cup Butter, melted
Sprinkle Garlic Salt (optional)

Method

Preheat oven to 160 degrees. Line a tray with baking paper, cut the crusts off the bread. Melt butter.
Brush the melted butter over both sides of the bread. You can either (if you are using it) sprinkle the garlic salt on the bread as you go or put it in with the melted butter to be a more even spread.
Cut into cubes. Place on a lined baking tray. Pop in the oven for around 15 minutes until the bottom is golden and then turn and bake the other side for around 15 minutes.
Once cooled pop in an air tight container until needed.

How silly, I have never thought of adding garlic to my croutons! I use oil too instead of butter. These sound delicious!

Healthier version, I toss the bread cubes in olive oil and fresh, crushed garlic. They crisp up perfectly

Great idea. Sound so much tastier than the stale shop bought ones in plastic packets plus you can quickly make some if you have run out, lol.
