COMMENTARY:

THIS IS A GREAT RECIPE FOR USING BREAD THAT HAS GONE A LITTLE STALE, ITS ALSO GOOD FOR USING THE END PIECES ON LOAVES THAT KIDS MAY OR MAY NOT EAT. I TAKE THE ENDS OFF THE BREAD AND ADD THEM TO A BAG I KEEP IN THE FREEZER. WHEN I GET ENOUGH BREAD PIECES, I MAKE CROUTONS. I LIKE TO DO THE FINAL STEP WHEN THEY ARE STILL JUST A LITTLE WARM, THE CHEESE TENDS TO STICK TO THE CROUTONS A LITTLE BETTER THAT WAY.
