Cheese Croutons

By MJH

Ingredients

• 1 loaf (8 ounces) of French bread (fresh or slightly stale)
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 cup finely grated cheese, or more to taste
• Salt

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325 F

Slice the loaf of bread into 1-inch squares.

Put the bread cubes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil, cheese and a few pinches of salt.
The easiest way to do this is with your hands.

Spread out evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.

The baking time will vary, but usually takes about 30 minutes.
The croutons should be nicely browned and crispy.
Shake the pan several times while the croutons bake to make sure they cook evenly.
