Cornbread Croutons

Submitted by Nancy G.

"An excellent way to use up leftover cornbread. These are great on salads and soups and are especially good on Tex-Mex recipes. They can be dressed up with your favorite seasonings if desired."

Had these for the first time at a restaurant and was impressed at how good they were. Took me a few minutes to figure out what they were made of. Never would've thought to make croutons from corn bread. So simple and so good. Wish I had known of them sooner, it would have saved many partially eaten loaves from going into the trash can.<br/>Only problem with this recipe is that they were starting to burn on the first side. I lowered temp to 400 when I turned them, but still came out too dark. I will try at 375 next time.

When I go to Country Cooking, which I love, I always have cornbread muffins with my salads! Sometimes that is all I have!
