Parmesan Croutons
Parmesan croutons are the perfect topping for a salad or bowl of soup, and they are a snap to make and bake with cubed bread, garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup parsley, minced
- 1 clove garlic, crushed and finely minced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 slices white bread, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste (I use fine sea salt)
Instructions

- Melt the butter in a skillet or saucepan over medium heat; stir in the parsley and garlic. Remove from heat and add the Parmesan cheese.
