Great recipe! And simple! I made these to go with Spinach and Baby Clam Sauce. And it was wonderful! Thanks Derf for a great recipe.

I can't believe I've waited so long to make my own croutons. I usually just grab a bag from the grocery shelf. Why????? Now that I've tried your recipe Derf, there's no turning back. So easy and the flavour is wonderful. I did add 1 tsp each of fresh ground black pepper and dried parsley. Thanks so much for changing my bad habit. lol

Excellent, easy, and flavorful. They do brown quickly. I also add fine crushed parsley and onion powder. I make these any time I have too much bread because the bread will sit there untouched while these don't last.

Oh my, what garlic goodness! I took an extra step and heated the olive oil with the garlic in it over a low flame for about 5 minutes, just to infuse the oil. I used leftover cheddar tabasco bread and also sprinkled parmesan cheese on them. I didn't add salt because of all the cheese. These are the best croutons I've ever had!
