Odessa has always been famous for its show-off and extraordinary sense of humour. And I must say that uncle Gosha is not deprived of this character trait. He called nobly his simple soup rusks with his inherent sense of humour: croutons. Firstly, because he has been living in America for a long time, and secondly, because this makes the soup “more expensive” 🙂 Uncle Gosha serves garlic croutons to the creamy Boston clam chowder.

Ingredients
- 1 French baguette
- 250 g butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
- tarragon
- oregano
- freshly ground black pepper
Cooking method
Step 1
Heat the oven to 180˚С. Melt the butter in a saucepan and simmer for 20 minutes. Cut the baguette into cubes. Remove butter from heat. Squeeze the garlic into butter, add spices, and mix.
Step 2
Put the baguette in a bowl and, stirring, gradually add the butter and spices. The butter should completely cover the cubes. Cover the baking tray with parchment, spread the baguette cubes in one layer. Bake in the oven until golden brown.
My tips and tricks:
If you use fresh bread for croutons, then you will hardly be able to cut them so that they are the same size, evenly baked and look aesthetically pleasing. Solving this problem can be easier than you might think at first. Just use the three to four-day bread for croutons.
