Home made croutons are so incredibly quick and easy to make at home. You don’t just serve them on soup, but casseroles, in a salad or just as a snack! This is my garlic version, but if your not a fan of garlic you can leave it out!

Ingredients
6 number Thick wholemeal bread-6 slices
1 tsp Crushed garlic
1/3 cups Olive oil
1 gram Salt and pepper
Directions
- Slice the bread into 1cm cubed pieces (up to you if you decide to cut off the crust or not). In a frypan heat half the oil and add half the garlic. Allow to get very very hot before popping a cup of the bread pieces. Toss in the oil and garlic mixture and cook until golden and crisp on all side. Remove and place on a piece of kitchen paper to drain. Add more oil and garlic to the pan and cook all the bread in batches. Don’t overcrowd the frypan. Season to taste and use immediately.
- Recipe Hints and Tips:
- These croutons aren’t suitable for storing for later use. Make them fresh as needed.
