I was totally impressed by the flavor, crunch and savoriness of my first ever batch of croutons I made recently. I found a nice loaf of whole wheat French bread the other day, and decided to give it another go!
½c good quality olive oil
1t± packaged ranch seasoning
salt, pepper and garlic seasoning
½-¾c finely grated hard cheese
Mix the oil and seasonings well. Drizzle over the bread cubes in a really big bowl. Toss to coat all the cubes, then sprinkle with the cheese and continue to toss.
Pour onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet with sides. Bake at 375° for 20 minutes tossing the cubes after 10 minutes. Toss again at the end, shut off the heat and leave in the oven overnight. Next time I find a good loaf of crusty bread - maybe a sourdough, I think I'll make that recipe with butter instead of olive oil. A little garlic and herb seasoning, Himalayan pink salt, and a mix of red and black pepper. Fun stuff! . . . Lin
