Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 32 servings

  • 1 (1 pound) loaf brioche, cut into chunks

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 teaspoons dried basil, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, or more to taste

  • 3 cups garlic butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Place brioche chunks in a large mixing bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, basil, and garlic; pour in melted butter. Mix using a rubber spatula, being careful not to tear bread. Spread evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until croutons are golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Tips

This is really a based-on-your-taste recipe. You can use margarine or any other butter substitute instead of butter. Either way, the flavor is up to you.

You can replace Parmesan with thyme if serving croutons with chicken.
