  • Toss in Parmesan cheese, chopped oregano, black pepper and salt. Toss the croutons so that the herbs and cheese are well distributed.
  • Transfer your seasoned croutons to a sheet pan and spread them out evenly.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes stirring them occasionally until they are nice and toasty...keep an eye, these little gems go from toasty to toast in no time flat!
