For a delicious sweet and spicy spin on grilled cheese, try our grilled cheese and apple sandwich with sriracha butter. We’re taking homemade croutons up a notch and turning everyone’s childhood favorite sandwich into bite-sized grilled cheese croutons. They’re a flavorful, feel-good topper for soups, and they’re really easy to make. The best part about any homemade recipe is that you can use your favorite ingredients. For these grilled cheese croutons, we keep it classic with white sandwich bread and sharp cheddar cheese, but any cheese and bread will work (even if the bread’s a bit stale). Simply make grilled cheese as you normally would. Butter your bread, load it up with grated sharp cheddar cheese, and grill it until it’s golden and crispy. Then slice off the crusts, and cut them into little cubes. Don’t ditch the crusts though, they’re perfect for dunking into soup! A bowl of tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons is sure to lift spirits on the coldest and rainiest of days. If you have any leftover croutons, warm them up in the oven the next day and they’ll be extra crispy and delicious!
Butter – make sure your butter is at room temperature so you can spread it evenly over each slice of bread. Bread – we use white sandwich bread, but you can use any kind of sliced bread like wholewheat, rye bread, or gluten-free if needed. Sharp cheddar cheese – a sharp cheddar cheese gives these croutons a bold cheesy flavor. Feel free to mix it up with your favorite cheese like swiss cheese, havarti, gouda, or monterey jack.
