Ingredients for Everything Bagel Croutons

The list is short and sweet for this one. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Bagels: Day old bagels work perfectly for these croutons. If your bagels are fresh, no worries. You may just need to bake the croutons an extra minute or two to get them to the perfect level of crispy. If you don’t have bagels, you could still make these with French bread, ciabatta, sourdough…
  • Everything bagel seasoning: You can buy a jar at the store or make your own everything bagel seasoning.
  • Butter: To crisp up the croutons as they bake and give a nice, rich buttery flavor. You could also use olive oil but I think the butter tastes best with the bagels.
