Ingredients
2-3 cups of cubed baguette (or other hearty bread), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons salted butter
1 clove garlic, grated (using a microplane grater)
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
1 tablespoon freshly chopped chives
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F with oven rack in center position.
Place bread cubes in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
In a small skillet, gently heat butter, garlic, and herbs together until butter is completely melted.
Pour butter mixture over bread cubes and toss well using a silicone spatula.
Pour coated bread cubes onto an unlined half sheet pan and spread cubes out into an even layer.
Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown and toasty, tossing once or twice during the process. Cool completely before storing in airtight container for up to several days.
