Zippy Croutons

Ingredients

  • 4-6  cups bread cubes, about ½” thick.  (Day-old French or Italian bread is best, but the important quality is that the bread be a tad stale.)
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 to ½ tablespoons of your favorite Italian/Greek spice blend

Method

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Put the bread cubes, spices and oil into a plastic bag and shale until the cubes are coated with the oil/spice mix.

Put the cubes onto a cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally .

Cool before storing.

These are perfect to use with Caesar salad.  If you plan to use them with Caesar salad, you may want to make the cubes a little larger.
