to soften. Stir in bread cubes and saute until browned and crisp. Scatter
on tops of soups or salads just before serving. Makes 2 cups. VARIATIONS: -
try other seasonings of your choice such as curry powder, chili powder, or
thyme. To bake, toss bread slices in melted margarine or oil; then cut into
cubes. Spread on ungreased baking sheet. Toast in 400 deg F oven for about
10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Store in
