This is an excellent and quick way of preparing croutons to garnish soups and/or salads.

Ingredients:

50g butter
2 tsp Italian seasoning
400g bread cut into 2cm cubes

Method:

Place the butter in a 2l microwave-safe dish. Place in your microwave (1200W) and cook on high powder for about 30 seconds or until melted. Stir in the Italian seasoning then add the breadcrumbs and stir to coat in the butter mix.

Place in your microwave and cook on high power for about 3 minutes, stirring half-way through.

Spread the mixture on a baking tray (the croutons will harden as they cool) then store in an air-tight tin.
