CROUTONS

Save old bread and cut it into bite-sized cubes.

Lightly toss cubes with a bit of olive oil, vegetable oil or melted butter.

Place cubes in a single layer in a shallow pan and cook at 300^o F for about 20 minutes, stirring once.

When cooked, season with a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

OPTION: When tossing cubes with oil, add finely chopped thyme, basil, or other herbs.

Store in tightly sealed container.
