Brioche Croutons: The absolute BEST croutons because of the brioche bread, garlic, butter, parmesan cheese and fresh basil! Simple ingredients, and ready in only 20 minutes!
Begin by cutting your brioche bread in to about 1 inch cubes, and place the bread cubes in a large bowl.
Next, add shredded parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and fresh basil to bread. Stir to combine.
Add butter and minced garlic to a microwave safe dish and microwave for 2 minutes or until butter has melted. Stir and pour over bread.
With a rubber spatula, carefully stir to coat bread with buttery mixture and other ingredients until it looks like most of the bread as been coated.
Next, pour the buttered and seasoned bread on to a baking sheet that's lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes or until they've reached the golden brown color that you prefer. Flip the croutons, half way through the cooking process.
If desired, sprinkle a little salt on the croutons after baking. Serve warm or allow to cool before serving.
Notes
If the croutons are not as crispy as you prefer, you can allow them to sit out for a few hours/overnight and they will become staler (crispy), or simply allow them to sit out for a few hours to harden.
