Garlic croutons from white bread

Description

A tasty appetizer for any gathering. If you like it spicier, add more garlic; you can serve them with vegetables, sausage, cheese, or eat them on their own. These toasts really save me when there’s nothing in the fridge but I’m hungry. You can make them from black or rye bread. Serve the appetizer at the table.
