My husband and I had a pretty happening Friday night recently as we made homemade croutons. Exciting, huh!? Really, we did have a good time! Dave and I are going to be making our Christmas gifts this year so we were practicing. We made four different types of croutons.My brother, Jim, had given me a container full of his secret lemon pepper blend to use as a gift. We blended this along with garlic and onion. We mixed it together with olive oil on multigrain bread. The second was a basic onion, garlic, pepper mixed with a few tablespoons of unsalted butter and olive oil on whole wheat bread. Third, we mixed Penzey's Tuscan Sunset blend and parmesan cheese with olive oil on multigrain bread. Lastly, we used Penzey's Creamy Peppercorn Dressing mix with olive oil on multigrain bread. We toasted each pan on about 250 degrees for about 45 minutes.
These turned out very tasty! We are going to be able to enjoy them throughout the winter as they freeze well!
