These were awesome! I used olive oil instead of butter. They only took 25 minutes to crisp up, any longer and they would have burned. I did 10 minutes on one side, then flipped them and did 10 more minutes... they weren't quite done, so I left them in about 5 more minutes, but even that was a little too long.

I have been saying for a long time that I am going to make my own croutons because alot of the ones that come from the stores are not fit to eat.So I'm glad I chose this recipe.I did not have any Parmesan cheese on hand so that was the only thing I omitted.I also added about 1 tsp of italian seasoning.They were perfect.They look like the store bought but taste so much better!Thanks for posting the recipe,Candy C.
