carmen's kitch: Homemade Croutons

Let's be honest, the best part of a Caesar salad is the croutons. Especially when they are crunchy and smothered in delicious dressing.I purchased a loaf of a day old baguette on the clearance cart at the grocery store for a dollar and felt like I won a prize.

Once again, this recipe is proof that homemade is better than store bought.

Homemade Croutons
French bread, 1 day old, cut into cubes
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, drizzle bread cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Spread onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, and bake for 15 minutes.
