Croutons With Goat Cheese or Olive-Caper Spread

"This recipe makes two spreads for toasted sliced French bread- one with goat cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, the other with olives and capers. Both can be made four days ahead. The croutons keep up to one day ahead sealed in plastic bags. This is great for any gathering- place spreads in separate crocks on a platter and surround with croutons. Originally from a September 1989 Bon Appetit as part of an outdoor barbeque for eight."
