THE BEST EVER CROUTONS

These croutons are crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside and the best I've ever had. One of the restaurants (Ruby Tuesday's) we go to told me that their croutons were deep fried, so I just had to try my hand at it. Well, it worked and now when I want to indulge just a little I whip up a batch to eat on a salad, my...

loaf of pumpernickel bread
or loaf of honey wheat bread
garlic salt
or beau monde seasoning for a unique taste

Steps:

  • 1. Cut up your pumperkickel bread in 1 inch squares or a little larger if you want. I only deep fried them for 10 seconds or less. You want them to be crunchy on the outside but chewy on the inside.
  • 2. Drain them on a paper towel and sprinkle your garlic salt or beau monde seasonings for a different taste.
  • 3. Now you can enjoy them on a salad or just with some homemade ranch dressing.
  • 4. Here are the croutons from Ruby Tuesday's on a beautiful salad.

FOREVERMAMA'S BEST CROUTONS EVER!



Forevermama's BEST Croutons EVER! image

These croutons originally were part of a minestrone soup recipe. The soup was nothing to write home about and not a keeper but the croutons were to die for! I've doubled and quadrupled this recipe because my kids can eat these as if they were potato chips. It is truly scrumptious especially over a "good" soup or salad. This is a great way to use up stale bread.
