This is more of a tip than a recipe, get ready! So whenever I bake bread there are always the sad, mutilated pieces unfit for sandwiches that always happen because I use a bread knife that’s cheap and not sharp enough. I then put all the mutilated pieces on a plate thinking I’ll just eat reallytiny toasts for breakfast…and then they sit there a few days until their days as toast are no longer. Oops.

Today I didn’t waste those toast failures! Soup was up! I simply repurposed the stale toast into delicious croutons! A way to impress guests who won’t realize you’re simply trying to use up your old nasty stale bread!

Stale Bread? Nahhh. Croutons!
