4 Slices Companion Bread, day-old

3 tbls Butter, unsalted

½ cup Granulated Sugar

Good pinch of Salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove crusts from day-old bread slices and tear remaining bread into small pieces. In a mixing bowl, add bread pieces, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat and cook just until milk solids turn brown. Pour browned butter into mixing bowl and toss to combine.

Croutons will keep for one week at room temp or up to 3 months in the freezer. If they last that long!
