Garlic Croutons

Ingredients:
1 loaf crusty bread - left out overnight
1 stick unsalted butter
1 to 2 tsp salt
2 cloves garlic - minced

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Cut french bread into 1-inch squares and set aside.
In a large pot melt down butter, add salt and garlic.
Remove from heat and add in cut up bread.
Toss until butter is soaked into the bread and flavors are evenly distributed over bread.
Spread butter soaked bread onto a silpat (or parchment paper) lined sheet pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes until browned.
Toss once or twice during baking to ensure all sides are perfectly toasted.

I used rosemary bread from Costco and used 5 cloves of garlic that was in brine, so it wasn’t as strong. We baked 8 min. Then tossed then 8 more min.
