Ingredients

  • 6 slices slightly stale Marbled Rye Bread
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons oregano
  • sea salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spritz a cookie sheet with spray butter, or rub with a stick of butter to coat.
  • Cut slices of bread into the size of croutons you desire. I left the crusts on.
  • Lay bread on prepared cookie sheet in a single layer.
  • Melt butter and whisk in garlic and oregano. Drizzle over the top of the bread.
  • Bake for 5 minutes, turn bread over. Continue this method every 5 minutes until bread is toasted to your desired crispness. I like mine golden brown on the outside and still soft in the middle. Mine took just under 20 minutes. Watch them closely.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt when you remove them from the oven. Let cool. Store in an air tight container. Use within one week.

Notes

Feel free to use any bread you like. Change up the seasonings to your liking. Other seasoning ideas: basil, thyme, fresh herb mixture, parmesan cheese.
