For years I have seen recipes that teach a person how to take leftovers and turn them into beautiful, delicious meals. I feel some have gone so far as to take spaghetti and turning it into a filet dinner....I don't get it....how did they do that?
Since I am also not really a big eater of leftovers, the whole idea sort of blew my mind.
But what is it they say? Necessity is the mother of invention. So when I found myself with an enormous amount of leftover bread from a family dinner (evidently I had thought everyone was going to eat their very own loaf by the amount I had purchased) I thought I would give one of these miraculous "turn your leftovers into dinner" recipes.
Of course, I had to start small, so I went with croutons....who doesn't like croutons? Well when they are made like this the answer is simple....no one!
Herbed Croutons
1 loaf French bread
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon basil
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
Cut bread into 1/4 inch cubes.
Combine all ingredients in large bowl.
Toss well.
Place on a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 350°F until crispy.
Enjoy!
