Croutons De Provence

1. 1

   Find a good bakery and get yourself a nice loaf of French or sour dough bread. Get it home and cut it into bite-sized pieces (I leave some a bit larger for snacking). Put the pieces in a large sheet pan and set aside.

2. 2

   Give your garlic cloves a good bash with your knife, then throw them in the pan with the bread, peel and all.

3. 3

   Sprinkle the bread and garlic with the salt, pepper and herbes de Provence. Drizzle olive oil over everything and toss lightly with your hands.

4. 4

   Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for about 20 minutes. Shake the pan a bit, then bake for an additional 10 to 20 minutes or until your cubes are golden brown.

5. 5

   Discard the garlic cloves and let cool. Store in an airtight container until ready to use. I eat them alone as a snack, top a bowl of butternut squash or tomato soup with them, or in a salad dressed simply with balsamic vinegar and olive oil.
