Outback Croutons

Recipe #157524 | 1 hour | 15 min prep | add private note

Hi there folks. I used to be a hot-side and cold-side prep cook for Outback and I never signed a confidentiality agreement. Their loss is now your gain. I know all the recipe cards--you will, however, have to break some of them down. I will be making random posts revealing all the tricks. Let me know how you feel about it

SERVES 10 , 10 salads (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Take any amount of bread. Get an electric bread knife and then you can cut three rows one way four rows another. Let sit in open air overnight--the more stale they get the better to cook.
  2. 2
    Take a cookie sheet and evenly spread over so that none overlap.
  3. 3
    Heat oven to 250°. Place in oven for 30-45 minutes. They should have a yellow tint all the way through. Some will burn on edges. Shake cookie sheet to check evenness.
  4. 4
    Take 1 lb of butter and melt to mayo consistency--no more, no less--this is very important! Add to 1/2 cup of house seasoning.
  5. 5
    House seasoning from Outback is mostly paprika, dash of salt, some onion powder and garlic powder and a little bit of cayenne pepper.
  6. 6
    Then mince 1/4 cup garlic. The easy way is to buy cloves that are skinned and use a cheese shredder blade so that its flaky.
  7. 7
    Mix together in melted butter.
  8. 8
    Let crouton bread get room temperature and mix butter and toasted bread gently and evenly coat. Then stick it back in the oven at 275°F Cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until most butter is cooked. It will always look like it is wet until it cools down for 20 minutes. Shake cookie sheet to see that it evenly coats.

These were awesome! I made these the other night specifically for my sister who came to dinner and loves fresh croutons. I had made a fresh baguette the night before and cut it up and let it dry out overnight. Followed the recipe exactly, except I didn't have onion powder so I used onion salt and omitted regular salt. I used 1/4 c. paprika and made combo 1/4 c. of the rest. Everyone raved about them, especially my sister. She took the rest of them home with her. She kept asking for the recipe, but since she'd probably freak out about the amount of butter, I'm going to see if I can modify them by substituting olive oil before I do. But personally I wouldn't change a thing. Thanx so much Ryseone for the recipe. Keep 'em coming!
