Croissant Croutons image

Use the best available croissants you can find for this recipe for optimal results. These are great on salads, soup or as a snack by themselves. They are delicious at room temperature spinkled over fresh tomatoes sliced with fresh shredded basil and a vinageret drizzled over all. Or on top of macaroni and cheese baked in the oven or other casseroles as a crisp topping.
