   For the croutons:

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 415 F.

3. 3

   Combine cheeses, garlic powder and salt and pepper in a bowl. Roll into tablespoon-size balls and set on a plate. I got 12 balls from this amount of cheese. Put the egg white into a shallow bowl. Put the breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl.

4. 4

   First roll the cheese balls in egg white, then in panko. Make sure all of the cheese is covered with panko. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until panko is golden brown on the outside.
