Here is an excellent use for bread ends or bread that isn't as moist and fresh as it used to be. These croutons add an incredible pop of flavor to any salad or soup. They are a great way to sneak more garlic into your diet. Start to finish they take about 25 minutes and are very hands off.
Ingredients:
Stale bread or bread ends (any kind will work)
Fresh garlic cloves (to taste, going a little overboard will make them extra tasty!)
Butter
Pepper
Parmesan Cheese
Start by preheating the oven to 350 and dicing the bread into little cubes. While the oven is preheating, throw a generous amount of butter into a heat proof dish and stick it in the oven. Once the butter has melted, mince the garlic into the butter and stir to combine. Next throw in the bread cubes and toss to coat them evenly. Sprinkle them with pepper (they really don't need salt) and then transfer them to a baking dish (glass works well for this). Make sure they are not too crowded because you want them to crisp up nicely. Bake for about 20 minutes or until desired crispness. Grate some Parmesan cheese over the top and allow to cool if using on a salad. Enjoy!
