Ingredients
- 2 cups stale bread, croissants, or pastry scraps, torn into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using sweet garnish)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for sweet garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss the torn baked goods with melted butter until evenly coated.
- For sweet garnish, mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the buttered pieces and toss. For savory, sprinkle with salt.
- Spread the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet; the garnish will crisp further as it cools.
Tips
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Use as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, salads, or soups.
- For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or thyme for savory versions.
