Homemade Croutons

Trim the crusts from day-old bread.

Cut into cubes the size you want your croutons to be.

Place the cubes on an ungreased baking sheet and toast in a 350° oven until they are golden brown. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter at a time.

When the butter's foam begins to subside, add a batch of the toasted bread cubes and saute lightly on all sides.

Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towel.
