Greek Croutons image

My favorite way to make croutons for a greek salad or for a ceasar salad. They will keep in an airtight container for 3-4 days in your pantry. We love these! Also, good for brushing on pita bread before toasting to make pita chips! I found this in a food magazine and altered it to make it more to our taste, but I cannot remember which magazine!

I'm not a big fan of croutons, but these were really good. I might even start making them myself.

These croutons are a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a few slices of bread that are about to go bad, and this is a great way to use them up.
