Croutons with cheese - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can substitute the cheese with any hard cheese like cheddar, gouda, or parmesan. Softer cheeses might not work as well for grating and might make the mixture too wet.
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh and crispy, but they will lose their crunch over time.
Yes, for an egg-free version, you can try using a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water, let it sit for 5 minutes) or just increase the milk slightly. However, the egg helps the cheese adhere, so the texture might be slightly different.
Absolutely! Any neutral-tasting oil like vegetable, canola, or avocado oil will work perfectly. Butter gives a richer flavor, but oil will still give you a crispy result.
They're fantastic on their own as a snack or appetizer. They also make a great, crunchy topping for soups, salads, or stews. Try them on top of a creamy tomato soup for extra texture.
Yes, you can easily double or triple the recipe. Just make sure you use a large enough pan or fry in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can make the croutons soggy instead of crispy.
You can prepare the egg-milk mixture and grate the cheese ahead of time, but it's best to assemble and fry them just before serving for the crispiest texture. If you do need to make them ahead, re-crisp them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for a few minutes.
Yes! For a lighter option, arrange the soaked bread slices on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Baking will give a slightly different, drier texture but is much less messy.
