Author:
Ingredients
  • Day old or stale bread
  • Olive oil, enough to give a light coating (1/4 cup?)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Your favorite herbs, to taste: We used basil, oregano, rosemary and garlic
  • Other ideas: thyme, celery seed, parsley, red pepper flakes
  • Optional: Parmesan cheese, minced or powdered garlic
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Take bread and slice into ½ to 1 inch pieces. Whatever size you’d like.
  3. In a large bowl, mix bread with olive oil, salt and herbs until evenly coated
  4. Spread bread out onto baking sheet and bake at 15-25 minutes or until golden brown. During the baking time, you can use a spatula and flip pieces of bread to get multiple sides crispy and brown.
  5. Put on salads and soups. Store in an airtight bag or container good for about a week, without refrigeration.
