| Homemade Asiago Croutons |
We have had an
unusually, gray, typical northwest rainy day, especially since it is the end of
the July. I think in the three years that I have lived in Denver, Colorado I
have yet to experience an entire day of weather like that of the Northwest so I
have been taking full advantage of it. During the summer, I turn into an oven
Nazi, so with the cool weather I turned on the oven and it was a welcome
change!
I think there is
one item that can not only take a simple salad and turn it into a truly
delicious treat, but can also be a simple detail that gets you praise from any
dinner guests. I have had my fair share of croutons, I am pretty sure that is
the only reason I eat salad, plus I never count as a true carb because they are
a garnish! I have also made my fair share of homemade croutons and until
recently was still looking for the best recipe. These croutons are about the
laziest “homemade” you can get, but they are very tasty! Hope you enjoy!
Homemade Asiago Croutons
2 loaves of
Asiago Cheese Bread from Panera (you can really use any type of bread, I tried
this on a whim because Panera gave me two free loafs that were a day old)
Sea Salt to
taste
Cracked Peper to
taste
Olive Oil to drizzle
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees.
Cut both loaves so you get about 1-inch tall by ¼ inch wide
small pieces (they tend to shrink while in the oven).
Spread them out on a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle
the salt and cracked pepper.
Bake for 15 minutes. Take out pans to stir and then bake for
another 15 minutes.
Let cool and store
in an air tight container or zip lock bag.
Enjoy!
