Description

Crunchy morsels of day-old baguette are bathed in garlic-infused butter, coated with nutty Parmesan and parsley, then baked until golden. Each bite bursts with savory aroma and crisp texture.


Ingredients

  • 3 cups cubed day-old baguette or bread
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl combine melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add bread cubes and grated Parmesan cheese to the bowl and toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the coated bread cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden and crispy, stirring halfway through.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use day-old or slightly stale bread for extra crunch.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
  • Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
