have made these several times and they are easy and delicious. Store bought pale in comparison. Can be modified with any herbs, spices you want. Original recipe is great.

This is a good crouton, and if you want to try something different try using unsalted butter instead of olive oil. Also, I usually use garlic powder and sometimes parm cheese instead of red pepper.

I have made these SO many times with Caesar salad. I've even been known to use some wheat sandwich bread when I was out of everything else. These def could use a few dashes of garlic powder, or use garlic salt instead of reg salt. Today I'm going a step further and using a rustic roasted garlic loaf! I don't understand how parsley is a substitute for pepper flakes, but I think some dried herb every now and again would be a nice ADDITION. I don't have flakes, but I use a few dashes of red pepper, and it gives the same result...perhaps a more uniform flavor? At any rate, these are divine and hard not to eat coming right out of the oven!!
