Innie or Outie

If you’re one of those people who really don’t care much for the crust on your sandwich bread, there’s no need for the crusts to go to waste. This is a simple recipe that creates a use for the crusts and is good for any leftover French bread you may have as well.

Pan-Fried Herbed Croutons

1 cup bread crusts or French bread (coarsely chopped)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon basil
1 tablespoon oregano
1 tablespoon parsley
1 teaspoon minced garlic paste

Warm frying pan on medium heat, then add butter and garlic paste.
Stir in bread chunks. Sprinkle with basil, oregano, and parsley. Fry until slightly golden, tossing occasionally.

Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Place in air-tight container. Good for use in soups or salads.
