Garlic Croutons image

Use really good bread like a baguette, or a homeade loaf, day old. I use 1/2 of a good bakery baguette, and buy an extra one anytime I know I want salad, trim the end off.

Time 1h20m

Yield 1 quart, 6-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
10 large garlic cloves, peeled, crushed
4 cups day old bread, cubed
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Choose a broad skillet, like a 12-inch sauté pan, it is not good to do them in batches, because the first ones would soak up all the oil.
  • It does not matter if they overlap.
  • Put in the oil and all the garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt if desired. Turn the heat to medium and cook until the garlic wilts, and turns gold, crushing it into smaller pieces as it is cooking.
  • Turn off the heat, set the skillet aside for one good hour ( or as long as you want), then strain, or well-remove the garlic from the oil, and discard, or use for other things.
  • Cook the croutons over medium heat stirring and tossing very often, seasoning with salt and pepper as nessecary, until golden and delicious.
  • Use for salad, or soup, keep at room temperature.
