“‘These crisp buttery croutons are so good,’ comments Ellen Benninger of Greenville, Pennsylvania. ‘I don’t know where I got the recipe, but I’ve been using it for more than 10 years.’ Toss the croutons in a salad, garnish a bowl of soup with them or sprinkle them on top of a creamy casserole.”

INGREDIENTS

* 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
* 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 5 slices white bread, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the butter, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Add bread cubes and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees F for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
