Cornmeal Croutons

Next time you make cornbread, make a double batch!  You’ll want leftovers for cornbread croutons!

 

Cornbread croutons are good on all sorts of salads.  They are particularly wonderful on Caesar salads and southwestern-type salads, like our Loaded TexMex Salad.  Put them on chili, tomato soups, bean soups, vegetable soups–or whatever sounds good to you. 

Cornbread Croutons

Ingredients

  • 4 cups cubed leftover cornbread
  • olive oil, salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • Put the cornbread cubes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt an pepper. Spread the cubes out in a single layer with some space between them.
  • Bake until the croutons are crisp and golden brown, 20-25 minutes depending on how large your croutons are. Cool completely on the pan. When completely cool you may store the croutons in an airtight container.

Basil is going crazy right now.  If you're not growing it, you probably know someone who is.  This basil chimichurri sauce is easy and delicious, and it's a lot cheaper to make than pesto.  What a fantastic way to get in your leafy greens!

***If you get the littlecoastalkitchen.com emails, please go ahead and open that, too.  I've asked some questions about the cooking class lineup for late summer-fall, and I need your input!  And if you haven't signed up for newsletters, why the heck not?! I'm too lazy to flood your inbox, and sometimes I have other stuff you need to know.  Also, typically classes are announced there first, and only on Facebook if there's room.***
