Homemade Garlic Lemon Croutons

 

The credit for this crouton recipe goes entirely to my mum. She is great at coming up with simple but delicious lunch ideas, and these croutons are one of her many! Add them to your salad, to give a bit of crunch and interest, but they are of course amazing when added to a soup. You can also add a little bit more lemon if you like them to be extra lemony.

 

 

So much better than shop bought croutons, which I always find to be far too salty or hard, and I love that this recipe uses everyday kitchen ingredients. It takes a few minutes to make and is the perfect way to use up those last few bread slices too!

Mix together the ingredients in a small bowl, and cut your bread into squares. Using a pastry brush, brush both sides of your squares with the mixture. Put under the grill for about three minutes on each side, or until golden and crunchy.
