How to Make Garlic Herb Cheese Croutons
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a medium skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 2 cloves of minced garlic and cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried Italian herbs (or a mix of oregano, basil, and thyme), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Remove from heat and add 4 cups of 1-inch cubed bread (day-old bread works best). Toss gently to coat the bread cubes in the garlic herb mixture.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite shredded cheese) over the bread cubes.
- Toss again to evenly distribute the cheese.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Spread the bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy, checking frequently to prevent burning.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
