Wikipedia
A crouton is a small piece of sautéed or rebaked bread, often cubed and seasoned, that is used to add texture and flavor to salads, notably the Caesar salad, as an accompaniment to soups, or eaten as a snack food. The word crouton is derived from the French ''croûton'', itself derived from ''croûte'', meaning "crust". Making croutons is relatively simple. Typically the cook cuts bread into small cubes, coats them in oil or butter (which may be seasoned or flavored for variety), and then bakes them. Alternatively, they may be fried lightly in butter or vegetable oil, until crisp and as brown as desired to give them a buttery flavor and crunchy texture. Nearly any type of unsweetened bread, in a loaf or pre-sliced, with or without crust, may be used to make croutons. Dry or stale leftover bread is usually used in lieu of fresh bread. Once prepared, the croutons will remain fresh far longer than the bread. A dish prepared ''à la Grenobloise'' (in the Grenoble manner) has a garnish of small croutons along with brown butter, capers, parsley, and lemon. Croutons are often used to make stuffing.

Croutons are pieces of rebaked bread often found in soups and salads for added texture and crunch. They are also a popular ingredient in stuffing, as they absorb the juices released while cooking. Making croutons is relatively simple and is a good way to use up stale bread.
