How to Make Toaster Croutons

  1. Preheat your toaster to your desired setting.
  2. Cut stale bread into bite-sized cubes. (Aim for about 1-inch cubes for optimal toasting).
  3. Optional: For a garlicky kick, rub a clove of garlic across the bread cubes before toasting.
  4. Toast the bread cubes until golden brown and crispy, checking frequently to prevent burning. (This will take approximately 4 minutes, depending on your toaster).
  5. Optional: Once toasted, sprinkle with 1-2 teaspoons of grated parmesan cheese for a cheesy, savory flavour.
  6. Let the croutons cool completely before storing. (This helps to maintain their crunch).
