Recipe View Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before using.

For a deeper garlic flavor, infuse the butter with garlic by gently simmering crushed garlic cloves in the butter for a few minutes before removing them.
Use day-old bread for the best crouton texture. Slightly stale bread will crisp up better in the oven.
Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices, such as dried Italian herbs, rosemary, or a pinch of red pepper flakes for added flavor.
Store cooled croutons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crispness.
