Baguette croutons are small, crispy pieces of toasted bread made from a French baguette. Often used as a topping for salads, soups, or served as a snack, they add a delightful crunch and flavor to various dishes.
The technique of making croutons dates back to ancient times, but the use of baguette, a classic French bread, took hold in France. As baguettes became popular, so did the idea of transforming stale or leftover bread into croutons rather than wasting it. Over time, croutons evolved into a staple ingredient in French cuisine and beyond.
Baguette croutons are generally crunchy, with a toasted, slightly nutty flavor that can be enhanced with seasonings like garlic, herbs, or cheese.
