    "i ate a salad with tomatoes and croutons for dinner. i really just ate the croutons."--unknown author

    Croutons are little pieces of bread. They are often cut into cubes. They can be seasoned or brushed with butter prior to baking. After baking, the hard, cubed pieces of bread are called croutons and are often found on salads, in soups or eaten as snacks.

    does bread matter?

    Yes, bread always matters but for croutons it matters just a little less. Many crouton recipes call for stale bread but you can use fresh bread. It's perfectly fine to substitute keto bread, gluten free bread or low carb bread too.

    what meals can you use croutons in?

    Croutons are perfect for:

    • Salads
    • Soups
    • Casseroles
    • Stuffing
    • On Top of Salad
