Hi WEEC listeners,
I've been having some trouble posting on my blog for the last week. Here is the crouton recipe mentioned on a previous segment.
Other recipes shared within the last 2 weeks have been repeats with recipes already posted once. Check out past posts, please.
HOMEMADE CROUTONS
1 loaf french bread
1/3-1/2 c. parmesan cheese
1/2 c. butter, melted
Italian seasoning, to taste
garlic salt, to taste
Cut bread into cubes. Place on cookie sheet in a single layer. Preheat oven to 350°.
Toast bread, stirring every 5 minutes, until bread is firm on all sides, about 10-15 mins. Move bread to a large bowl. Mix butter and seasonings.
Pour over the dry bread cubes and stir gently to coat. Sprinkle with the parmesan. Taste for seasonings. You might need to add
more butter/seasoning mixture, season with salt, or cheese.
Return croutons to oven and heat until crisp, about 10-20 minutes. Be sure to stir every 5 minutes or so. Allow to cool, then store in airtight container.
Note: These are so good. I have even used leftover garlic bread, cut up and toasted for this recipe with great results. Even the most plain salad is special. You could also sprinkle ranch dressing mix in place of the Italian seasoning for a different flavor.
