It’s a shame so many people just shake a box of them over their salads. The home-made ones always taste better, you can customize their shape and they don’t take that long to make!

Consider changing the seasoning to match your meal, or your salad.

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
  • Cut up stale baguette into pieces no larger than 1”x1”x1”. Place in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle enough olive oil over croutons to lightly coat (not soak).
  • Add herbs, cheese, salt & pepper in small amounts and toss to coat each piece. Taste a couple and adjust as you please.
  • Dump croutons onto a baking tray and space them out evenly. Place in oven for 10 minutes.
  • Try to flip all the pieces over (not a big deal if you can’t) then place in the oven for another 10 minutes.
