Croutons, yea or nay? (Corollary to soup thread)

[RealPlayer]

Yes, I often have almost-stale bread sitting around. Like a quarter of some round loaf. So when I am making soup, I’ll slice it into cubes and throw it on a skillet (sometimes with oil, sometimes not), let it get browned. Some soups also like a finishing touch of grated Parmesan.

(Apologies for posting such trivia in a time of our National crisis.)

I’m more of a breadcrumb guy than a crouton guy but home made croutons are delicious!

[Mik]

Yea. Homemade croutons are great. And easy.

[Axtremus]

How long can you keep the homemade croutons? Days? Weeks? Months?

[Mik]

Weeks.

I make them in the oven. Usually for my Caesar salads.
