Add seasonings. Cook for about 1 minute to soften. Stir in bread cubes and saute until browned and crisp. Scatter on tops of soups or salads just before serving. Makes 2 cups. Variations; try other seasonings of your choice such as curry powder, chili powder, or thyme. To bake, toss bread slices in melted oil; then cut into cubes. Spread on ungreased baking sheet. Toast in 400 degree oven for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crisp. Store in tin at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, some of their crispness will be lost if stored in plastic container. They may be reheated and crisped in 350 degrees oven for 5 minutes.
