great recipe i'm going to try this recipe with Thanksgiving dinner.

It was delicious. I had never had homemade croutons. They had always come from a box. Bog difference.

Pan Fried Croutons
6 slices white bread or loaf of French,sourdough your choice bread.
1 clove garlic
1/2 stick butter
Peel and mince the clove of garlic,add to oil.
Rub the peeled garlic on the white bread
Cut the loaf of bread into 3/4 inch slices,then cubes.
Cut the sliced bread into cubes,the size you like.
Heat the butter in the frying pan, on medium heat.
The butter should be hot but take care not to burn it.
When the butter is hot, add the bread cubes.
Stir the bread cubes periodically with a spoon so that it cooks on all sides. Take care that neither the bread nor butter burns.
When the bread cubes become hard,
with a golden-brown appearance, they are done.
This takes about 10 minutes (depending on how hot you cook them at).
Notes:
If the bread soaks up all the butter, so there is no butter left in the pan,
simply add a bit more. This will help the cooking and help prevent the bread from burning.
The croutons can be removed from the pan and left in a bowl for several hours until you are ready to use them.
