Everything about Croutons totally explained
A
crouton is a small piece of sautéed or rebaked
bread, often cubed and seasoned, that's used to add texture and flavor to
salads, notably the
Caesar salad, and as an accompaniment to
soups, while some prefer to eat them alone, as a
snack food. The word crouton is derived from the French
croûte, meaning "crust".
Making croutons is relatively simple. Typically the cook cuts bread into small cubes, coats them in oil or butter, (which may be seasoned or flavored for variety) and then bakes them. Alternatively, they may be fried lightly in
butter or
vegetable oil, until crisp and as brown as desired to give them a buttery flavor and crunchy texture.
Nearly any type of unsweetened bread, in a loaf or pre-sliced, with or without crust, may be used to make croutons. Dry or stale leftover bread is usually used in lieu of fresh bread. Once prepared, the croutons will remain fresh far longer than the bread.
A dish prepared
à la Grenobloise has a garnish of small croutons along with
brown butter,
capers,
parsley, and
lemon.
