I've taken to making homemade croutons over the past few months.

Okay, only half homemade: I usually use a french baguette from the grocery store as a starting point.

After that, it's just a matter of frying your bread in butter and garlic and whatever other seasonings are applicable (and a good amount of freshly ground sea salt)

Immensely superior to any other croutons. I especially like them in a simple pasta or a grilled chicken salad.
