Homemade Croutons

MR – I was making chicken caesar salad last night, and realized that I would love to have some croutons in it.  I’ve never bought them, just because it never really crosses my mind to do so.  Then I remembered a recipe I learned way back in highschool for making your own croutons in the microwave.  It’s SO quick, so simple, and once again, I like to be able to control what ingredients go into our food.

Just butter a slice or two of bread (I use homemade from our  breadmaker).  Cut it into cubes and sprinkle with various herbs (basil, parsley, whatever).  Microwave in a bowl for about 45 seconds and stir.  Microwave again for about 45 seconds.  The bread should be fairly hard by now.  Dump onto a plate and allow it to cool for a few minutes, during which it will become even crunchier. 

Add to your salad and enjoy!

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
