Hannah's Caesar Salad Croûtons are a homemade addition to the much-loved Caesar salad. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, these croûtons add a delightful texture to your leafy greens. The Parmesan cheese in this recipe gives these croûtons an added depth of flavor that store-bought croûtons just can't deliver. They're so simple to make that you'll never reach for a store-bought variety again.

Instructions

1.	Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C).
2.	In a frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.
3.	Add garlic powder and cubes of bread to the pan, stirring until they are coated in the butter and olive oil mixture.
4.	Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the bread cubes and stir until the cheese has melted and coated the bread.
5.	Transfer the mixture to a baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the croûtons are golden-brown and crispy.
6.	Remove from the oven and let them cool completely before adding to your Caesar salad.
