Ingredients

  • 9 slices (cut about 1-inch thick) French Bread, cut into cubes
  • 12 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. In a large OVEN SAFE skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

  3. Stir in garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

  4. Stir in parsley.

  5. Add the bread cubes and toss to coat. Place the skillet directly into the oven. (Depending on the size of your skillet you may need to work in batches.)

  6. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crispy and lightly browned. (I removed the second batch at 9 minutes, so be sure to keep an eye on these so they don't burn! Every oven will vary.) You are looking for a toasted on the edges golden brown appearance.
