Crouton

Pro Tip 1/3

Culinary Context

Croutons are primarily used in culinary settings, especially in salads and soups as a crunchy element.

The chef topped the tomato soup with homemade croutons.

Pro Tip 2/3

Variety of Flavors

Croutons can be seasoned with various flavors like garlic, cheese, herbs, and can be homemade or store-bought.

For the Caesar salad, use herbed croutons for extra flavor.

Pro Tip 3/3

Not Interchangeable

Croutons differ from breadcrumbs; they are larger and used whole, not as a binding or coating ingredient.

Instead of breadcrumbs, I added croutons to the top layer for a crunchy texture.
