Croutons Italiano Microwave Method Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Mix all ingredients.
• 2. Microwave in high 1 minute and mix.
• 3. Microwave 1 minute and mix again.
• 4. Microwave another minute or until the bread cubes are crunchy. Let them cool. Keep them in air tight container.

Steps:

• Put butter in a medium baking dish (I used a glass pie plate).
• In a microwave oven, cook butter on high for about 25 seconds or until melted.
• Stir in the parsley, paprika, garlic salt and pepper.
• Then add the bread.
• Stir until bread cubes are coated.
• Microwave uncovered for 3 minutes; sitrring the cubes once every minute until bread is golden and crisp.
• Sprinkle over a tossed salad.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large (10-inch) saute pan until hot. Add the bread and cook over medium heat, tossing frequently, until the bread is evenly toasted and browned. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Rub the whole garlic clove over both sides of the sourdough. Tear it into rough chunks and toss with the oil, a good pinch of salt and the seeds.
• Spread out on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 mins until golden and crisp. Mix with the chopped parsley. Sprinkle on soup or a salad for added crunch.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
• Stir olive oil and garlic together in a bowl. Let sit at room temperature until flavors are infused, about 3 hours.
• Place bread cubes in a large bowl. Pour garlic oil through a strainer onto the bread; toss to coat bread with oil. Add 1/2 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, Italian seasoning, paprika, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat. Spread bread cubes out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Turn croutons and bake 15 minutes more. Push croutons together with a spatula so that they are in a compact rectangle on the baking sheet and no longer spread out; sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over the top. Bake until cheese is melted and the bread is crispy and crunchy, 10 to 15 minutes more.
