These were an integral part of Kittencal's Caesar Tortellini Salad with the dressing from Kittencal's Famous Caesar Salad. The entire collection was a colossal hit for Mother's Day. HIGHLY recommended.

We enjoyed these croutons very much! I prepared them slightly differently than the directions. I melted the butter in a large skillet, adding the spices and parsley. I added the pre-cut bread cubes to the skillet, tossing until coated - spreading onto a large jellyroll pan to bake. Thank you, Kitten!

A good tasting recipe, but I think the cooking temp is too high. My croutons got too brown for the temp and time recommended. I watched them and did stir them occasionally - even turned the temp down to 250 for the last 15 minutes, but they were too brown already by that time. I will make them again, but lower temp to 250 and just bake them longer if needed.

In spite of all of my mistakes, these turned out insanely good! I used 1/2 of a loaf of rustic sour dough bread that was 4 days old. I used my electric knife and cut them into about 1 inch cubes. I got happy with my knife and cut them into the cubes before brushing on the melted seasoned butter. So, I put them into a large bowl and poured small amounts over the cubes while tossing them and used some of the butter to coat my pan. I also forgot to add the parsley flakes to the melted butter, so I sprinkled that over, along with some coarse ground black pepper. I used 4 cloves of garlic grated with a rasp and Johnny's seasoning salt. I baked them in my roasting pan at 300 F. for about 40 minutes and flipped them in the pan every 15 minuets. (the dog was waiting, but only got 2) They turned out perfect!! So flavorful and crunchy. I will never buy another store bought crouton which are coated with things I cannot even pronounce. Thanks KItten!!
