Ingredients

  • 4 slices day-old French bread, cubed
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt to taste

Directions

  1. Pour the olive oil into a shallow bowl over the garlic and let it soak. Soaking it longer will yield more garlic flavor.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 °F (~180 °C).
  3. Strain the olive oil into a frying pan and fry the bread cubes in it, tossing to coat with oil.
  4. Spread the bread cubes on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt. Bake for 10 minutes or until crispy and dry.

Notes

To make non-garlic croutons, simply omit the garlic.

One may omit the prep work of mincing the garlic by adding the whole cloves of garlic to the oil and then crushing the garlic (either with a mortar or a fork).

By using very small bread cubes, frying crisp, and omitting the baking, these croutons may be used in place of potatoes.
