Star Croutons
Use a 1/ 1/2 inch star cookie cutter to cut out stars from bread. (You should get about 6 stars from each slice of bread). Place stars in a medium bowl.
Combine butter, olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Microwave on high power about 30 seconds or until butter melts. Stir until blended well.
Drizzle melted butter mixture over bread stars; toss until well coated. Arrange stars in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 12 minutes or until golden. |
