This is a very simple recipe from my friend Loy at Grandma Loy's Kitchen. She even gave me permission to add it to my second cookbook, Love at First Bite.
(There are only a few copies left...and they sell for $10 each plus $4 S & H)
She used a combo of rice and corn chex...and if you're wanting a gluten free version, use those cereals (or just one). I had Crispix on hand so that's what I used.
They were perfect to top off my Homestyle creamy tomato soup (from scratch)
and side salad. I love them for munching too.
Use assorted seasonings...Italian, onion powder, taco seasoning or ranch...
be creative and use your family's favorite.**
This recipe is quick and easy so don't delay making it and enjoy your
own croutons soon. YUUUMMMM!
Parmesan Garlic Crispix Croutons
5 c. Crispix cereal (or Corn or Rice Chex for Gluten Free - or a mix of the two)
1/4 c. butter
1 t. garlic powder (or half garlic/half something else)
**(see above for seasoning options)
3 T. grated 100% Parmesan cheese (from shakeable container)
3 T. grated 100% Parmesan cheese (from shakeable container)
Preheat oven to 325. Place cereal in large bowl. Melt butter in microwave or on stove top. Stir in garlic powder (and/or seasonings) until well blended. Drizzle butter mixture over cereal. Toss until cereal is well coated. Sprinkle parmesan over cereal and toss again until well coated. Pour cereal onto a baking sheet or jelly roll pan. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Make 5 cups croutons. Use them on top of soup or salad. Store in sealed container.
