These are easy to make and taste delicious. It could be my oven, but make sure you check them at 10 minutes. At that time, mine were already toasty brown and ready to take out. I used them on a salad but will definitely try them in tomato soup, as one reviewer recommended.

I have to hide these after I make them or my son will eat them all before I use them 🙂 Very delicious croutons. I make a very large batch- 6X original recipe divided onto two cookie sheets to bake

This is my favorite crouton recipe. It’s very flavorful. Also quick and easy.

SUPER YUMMY!! I actually made them to go with Michael Chiarello’s Homemade Tomato Soup. I’ll make this again for certain!

Nice and easy and no need for packaged croutons! Awesome flavor, nice and crunchy. I used leftover hotdog buns, all I had, and cooked for 10 minutes. Worked great!

Easy and delicious. Sky’s the limit, with seasonings. It’s the method and fat-to-bread ratio, that are key. Bake to desired crispness.

Have made these several times with Italian bread, I like a little heat so I add some red pepper flakes. Stores great in a Ziploc in the freezer, tasty with any salad, or soups, especially good with beer cheese soup!

Great! Used Italian seasoning instead of oregano and it was great!
