Description

Garlic croutons are delicious on salads and soups, and they taste even better when they're homemade — all you need is French bread, garlic, and butter!

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
3 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread, cut into cubes

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bread cubes and toss until coated. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
3 Bake in the preheated oven, checking frequently to prevent burning, until crisp and dry, about 15 minutes. Let cool before using, 2 to 3 minutes.
