We have these with
salad almost every night. It's not that they are cheaper (though
this is probably true). These croutons are distinctly different
- crispier, tastier and unique. You can reduce the oil or alter
the seasoning mix with a favorite of your own.
Try subsituting an extra 4 tbsp olive oil for the butter.
Not only do you get "good LDL" low cholesterol croutons,
we find that they are crunchier and that we prefer them!
All ingredients are approximate. You can adjust to suit
your taste.
