Outback Croutons

Make these delicious croutons to add a little crunch to soups or salads.

  • 1 Loaf  Texas Toast Bread
  • 1 lb butter
  • 2½ tablespoons cajun seasoning
  • ½ cup finely chopped garlic
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Trim crust from bread slices. Cut bread into bite sized pieces.
  3. Melt butter until it looks like mayo. Do not melt to a liquid. Croutons will NOT turn out.
  4. Add garlic and seasoning to butter and blend well and set aside.
  5. Put bread on a cookie sheet and toast till golden brown. Be sure and let cool completely.
  6. Place butter mixture into a large bowl. Coat bread cubes by stirring gently.
  7. Put croutons back on baking sheet and bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes.
  8. Gently shake the pan to make sure all are browning correctly.

    How do you store them and for how long?

      I store them in an airtight container for several weeks without any problems.

    Perfection! I only made 1/2 recipe. No need to return to the restaurant. Thanks!
