This is the basic of the basic crouton recipes and yes, you will never want to buy boxed croutons again. Get creative! Add seasonings, or cheese. I also cube the bread (use bagels, english muffins, french/italian bread, etc) I've used 50-50 butter and olive oil and even added some Ceasar dressing or Ranch dressing for "flavored" croutons.
