Instructions

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking of your croutons.
• Step 2: Take your 6 pieces of white bread and cut them into bite-sized squares, making sure to remove the crusts.
• Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, melted butter, garlic powder, salt, freeze-dried chives, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well mixed.
• Step 4: Add the bread squares to the bowl and gently toss them until they are evenly coated with the mixture.
• Step 5: Spread the coated bread squares in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Step 7: Once baked, remove the croutons from the oven and let them cool completely. Store in an airtight container if not serving immediately.
