Easy Italian Croutons

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees on Bake.

2. Cut bread into 3/4 inch wide strips and lay them flat on an aluminum pan (I like to use scissors not knives).

3. Drizzle olive oil onto bread, sprinkle herbs and cheese.

4. Pop into the oven for 15-20 minutes.

5. If you want to make mini croutons for salad, cut the bread into small cubes (instead of step one) and follow same procedure.
