A Simple Thing, Done Well
Some of the most honest cooking happens without heat. A good crouton isn't an afterthought — it's a quiet act of intention. There's something deeply satisfying about taking something plain and coaxing it into something worthy: a generous coat of olive oil, a slow drift of Parmesan, a little patience while the flavors settle into each other. These croutons ask very little of you, and in return, they offer a gentle crunch and depth that can anchor a salad or simply disappear, one by one, before the bowl ever reaches the table.

Instructions
- Break toasts into large chunks and place in a mixing bowl.
