These are a great way to prepare egg noodles! It's a perfect side dish and I like the fact that it is very basic and simple. I would have never thought to make croutons with noodles but it works well. My croutons turned out deliciously crispy and there was just the right amount of butter for us. I used the salted butter and added lots of freshly ground black pepper. Thanks for sharing!

Great recipe: extremely versatile. Just love the panfried croutons in this. To reduce the amount of butter used, I cooked mine in a mixture of half butter and half olive oil. This contributed the yummy flavour of both to the dish. The first time I made this, we enjoyed it as a side dish with lamb chops; the second time, I made it into a one dish meal by adding some finely minced garlic and onions in step four with the bread; then adding a well-drained can of red salmon, a couple of teaspoons of white wine and some fresh dill to the noodles before finally adding the croutons, onion and garlic. Both versions: wonderfully delicious. Thank you for sharing this recipe, GaylaV. Made for PRMR.

Perfect way to serve egg noodles or spaghetti or other pasta. I use recipe #30358 to cook any pasta with great success. I usually grate the bread to make buttered crumbs but liked the crunch of the croutons instead. You could also add leftover cooked veggies, peas, a sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese, and some chopped bacon bits for a variation.
