These sourdough croutons are incredibly easy to make. The olive oil toasted sourdough bread coupled with zesty herbs and rich parmesan cheese marry eachother to create deep flavor and the perfect crunch.
1loaf/750 g, 1.5 lbs sourdough bread Or whatever bread you have on hand
1/2Cup Olive Oil
2Tbsp. Herbs De Provence my all time favorite herb blend.
Finely grated Pecorino or parmesan cheeseto taste.
1tbsp..Salt & freshly ground Black Pepperto taste.
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350℉. While the oven is preheating slice the bread into 1" cubes and throw into a large bowl.
Add the rest of your ingredients to the bowl. Use your hands to toss and mix cubed bread with olive oil, herbs and cheese until the cubed bread is evenly coated.
In one even layer, spread the cubed bread mix on a parchment lined sheet pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Half way through the baking time, stir them up and continue baking until crispy and golden brown on the edges.
Let them cool before using. If you will be storing these, make sure they are completely cooled or they will turn soft in the storage container. I will use a glass mason jar, or a Ziploc bag. They will store well for about 4 days. Or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Herbs De Provence is a blend of basil, rosemary, thyme, marjoram, savory, and oregano.
