These croutons taste great, and your house will smell wonderful with the scent of the herbs.

Garlic-Parmesan Croutons

butter, melted

Parmesan cheese

oregano

thyme

garlic powder

salt

bread

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).


Mix butter, Parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme,  garlic powder, and salt together in a large, flat-bottomed bowl; add bread cubes and turn with a spatula to coat. Spread coated bread cubes onto a baking sheet.


Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool croutons completely before storing in an airtight container.


If you run the baked croutons through the food processor to a fine consistancy, these will also make great "italian" bread crumbs--way better than the processed brands. THIS CAN BE FROZEN. You can also use leftover hamburger or hot dog buns and get the same result.

I made a scaled down version of these, and they came out very good.  Since oregano can have a strong taste, I'd caution you to perhaps start with going a little short on that herb--you can always add, but it's harder to take away!  Cooking time could vary depending on how dry your bread is to start with.  I took mine out of the oven when they were nicely golden brown, but they weren't quite crunchy yet.  I baked them a little more, and they almost got too done.  I liked the process of how to toss the bread cubes in the butter solution.  Thanks for adding so much flavor to our salad!

Yum! I've made these several times and found in a pinch that olive oil works great, too, in place or added with the butter!

Wonderful !!  I made no changes and the one review is right on where she used minced garlic instead of the powder, but either way works.  I am a garlic lover so next time will probably use the minced garlic instead of the powder.  I highly recommend this recipe for croutons.

I had a fail recently making bread but was able to use the bread to make these croutons. They are so wonderfully yummy!!

The best croutons I've ever had! The only thing I changed: minced a garlic clove instead of using powder. Will be using this recipe for a long time!

Oh my goodness, awesome, awesome, awesome!  Loved this, couldn't believe the flavor!  I used fresh thyme from my garden & was nervous about the oregano, but it turned out great.  I unfortunately put these in the fridge worried it would spoil in the humidity, but I should have left them out because they were much better fresh from the oven. Best croutons I ever made. Thanks for sharing!

OMG!  The best croutons ever!  Very easy!  They freeze well until you pull some out!  Love them!

I love salty foods but I recommend cutting the salt back!!
