Croutons 101

There are three things you can never have enough of when you cook:

1. Butter
2. Butter
3. Butter

Seriously! The only thing that can happen when you add too much butter is get fat. That beats the countless other problems that can happen if you don't add enough, such as burning your meal, burning yourself, or burning your kitchen to ashes. Another thing I've learned today: do not add too much garlic to your garlic butter croutons. Simply grotesque!



Garlic Butter Croutons

Croutons are literally small pieces of fried bread, usually seen in Caesar salads. They make very good snacks, and are quite simple to make.

Ingredients
Bread - French Baguettes would be best, but if you have to use sliced bread, make sure you toast them till they become completely crisp. Cut into ≈ 30 1 cm squares.
Butter - A hell lot of it.
Garlic - 5 cloves, finely chopped or blended.
Salt and Pepper - For taste. 1 sprinkle.
Herbs - Basil or Mixed Herbs will do finely. 1 sprinkle.

Procedure
1. Add everything but the bread into the pan. Let the ingredients sauté for 30 seconds.
2. Add bread squares. Fry till golden brown. If pan starts to blacken, add more butter.
3. Serve!
