Recipe type: Accompaniments

Cuisine: French

Serves: 2 cups

Ingredients

salt
black pepper
1/3 Cup butter
3 cloves garlic; finely minced
2 Cups bread cubes

Instructions

Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Lightly brown the diced garlic in the butter. Add cubed bread. (It works better if it is a little old, but if you only have fresh, just be more gentle).
Toss well, but gently to coat the bread with the butter.
Set in oven and roast for about 7 minutes, then stir well and roast again for about 7 minutes more.
When bread has taken on a golden color, remove and salt and pepper to taste.
Spread out on a large platter to cool.
Bread will become crunchy as it sits.

Notes

Oven-toasted bread cubes with butter and garlic.
