Garlic–Brown Butter Croutons

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375u00b0F. Place bread in a large bowl. Cook garlic and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, swirling often, until foaming subsides, butter turns golden brown, and garlic is fragrant, 6-8 minutes. Drizzle garlic butter over bread and toss to coat; season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Spread out bread mixture on a small rimmed baking sheet. Bake croutons until deep golden brown and crisp, 20-25 minutes. Let cool, then pluck out and discard garlic cloves.
