Grilled Cheese Croutons

Lainey6605's Note:

I like to serve these croutons on top of "10-Minute Tuscan Tomato Soup With Parmesan Toasts". I have also substituted Swiss cheese for the cheddar cheese and serve these croutons in French onion soup. They are yummy.

We love grilled cheese with most any of the soups we make. Never thought to make croutons out of them. They do become soggy rather fast, so we kept a plate of them out and we added a couple at a time as we enjoyed Colorful Potato Soup. Thanks Lainey for another great recipe. Made for Holiday Tag.

Really enjoyed these in my chicken noodle soup! It reminds me of challah that we usually put in our soup but this has some cheese flavor. It is a nice twist.
