When creating croutons, I use slices of standard sandwich bread instead of Italian bread or filling cubes. It’s a win-win situation because they look great and are less expensive to make.

I use fresh parsley when I make garlic herb Parmesan croutons, but you can use any fresh herbs that you choose. You can also definitely make this recipe without any herbs if you just want garlic croutons.
