Hannah's Homemade Croutons

Submitted by ctrmom

"We love these Parmesan croutons on Caesar Salad or Chicken Caesar Salad. I usually make Caesar Salad when I have bits of bread that need to be used up in the house, like the heels. It is a delicious transformation for them. And these croutons go together really fast in a skillet."
