An essential topping for Caesar salad, these garlicky, herb-infused croutons are a great way to use up leftover bread.

If you love salad you should know how to
make croutons because it’s a great thing
to do with bread. It’s also a great thing
to do with leftover bread that’s kind of
gone stale. So let me show you how I’m
gonna cut my bread into six inch lengths,
and then again standing it on its edge,
using a serrated knife into thirds. Cut
them into half-inch, third of an inch
widths. And then very carefully cut them
into little squares. I like croutons that
have crunch from the edge of the baguette.
A couple tablespoons of butter, let
that melt. I have some chives lying
around, I have some parsley, and when
you see your butters start to melt
pop a garlic clove, take your microplane
and grate it it’s gonna just dissolve
into the butter and just get oh so yummy
and sweet. Our butter has melted our,
garlic is infusing, I like a little bit
of pepper no I don’t want it to turn
bitter. And all I want to do just gently
pour it around the sides, turn these over
a couple of times, and then all we do
spill these out with the herbs onto a
cookie sheet. Spread them into one layer
and then place them into a 350 degree oven.
Let’s see how this tastes, that’s crouton
perfection right there!

  1. Oh I love croutons made with butter but my heartburn forced me to come up with a recipe to make croutons using no butter, oil or grease.

  2. I tried making these today. We kicked Olive Garden croutons' ass. I will make my own from now on and not buy at grocery.

  3. Best croutons I’ve had in ages! Tripled the bread, doubled the butter, and baked for fifteen minutes – SO good!

  4. Hi! 😍 I really love your video, I was wondering how long I can store these homemade croutons? Thank you so much 💋💋

  5. Oh my gosh! You have to make these! They were so amazing. Everyone in the house almost ate all the croutons before they made it to the salad!

  6. Warm and buttery croutons sounds delicious! Buying a baquette 🥖 is simple enough. I'll buy a couple, so I can eat both the croutons, and a 🥖 with the salad. 😋

  7. 😮😮Get the FAWK out of here that’s it…. All the bread I’ve been wasting. SMH 🤦🏽‍♀️

    Here is some good news for you by the way!!

    For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:”
    ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

    “and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
    ‭‭Acts‬ ‭16‬:‭30‬-‭31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

  11. Absolutely Delicious! We ate a good portion of these right out of the oven. I'm going to make these on a regular basis and freeze the extras (if any are left) for later.
