Croutons in a bowl of French onion soup.
A crouton is a small piece of dry or fried bread, often seasoned, that is used to add texture and flavour to salads, notably the Caesar salad, and as an accompaniment to soups, while some prefer to eat them alone, as a snack food. The word crouton is derived from the French croûte, meaning "crust".
Making croutons is relatively simple. Typically the cook cuts bread into small cubes and fries them lightly in butter or vegetable oil, to give them a buttery flavour and crunchy texture. A healthier option is to bake the cubes of bread in an oven until dry.
A dish prepared a la Grenobloise has a garnish of small croutons along with brown butter, capers, parsley, and lemon.
