Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Base

  • Bread cubes (stale or fresh bread with firm crumb, about 4 cups of 1-inch cubes)
  • 4 tablespoons butter

Flavorings

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or oregano), chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Cheese

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread Cubes: Cut your bread into small, evenly sized cubes—about one-inch pieces work great for easy snacking.
  2. Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: Melt butter in a pan, then stir in finely minced garlic, chopped fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper to create a fragrant, flavorful base.
  3. Coat the Bread Cubes: Toss the bread cubes in the garlic butter mixture until every piece is well coated, allowing the flavors to soak in.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the coated bread cubes and gently mix to distribute evenly for a rich, cheesy layer.
  5. Bake Until Golden and Crispy: Spread the coated bread cubes on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown.

Notes

  • Use sturdy bread: Day-old bread is ideal because it holds up well during baking without getting soggy.
  • Don’t skip fresh garlic: Pre-minced garlic won’t deliver the same intense flavor.
  • Toss thoroughly: Ensure every bread cube is coated evenly for consistent taste and crunch.
  • Watch the oven: Baking times may vary depending on your bread and oven, so keep an eye to avoid burning.
  • Customize your herbs: Fresh parsley is classic, but basil or thyme offer unique twists.
