Ingredients
4 level dessertspoons freshly grated Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
8 oz (225 g) stale bread, cut into small cubes
4 tablespoons oil
Preparation
For the croutons, pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4, 350°F (180°C), or pre-heat the grill. Place the bread cubes in a bowl, sprinkle in the oil, then stir them around till the bread has soaked up all the oil.
Next add the freshly grated Parmesan, and stir again till all the bread cubes are well coated. Spread them out over a baking sheet and either bake in the pre-heated oven for 10 minutes, or else place them under the pre-heated grill, turning as necessary. (If you use the grill, watch them like a hawk as they can burn very easily.)
