These croutons are great with salad, but we made them especially for the Zucchini Soup with Basil.
Tip: Trader Joe's, Arnold's, Whole Foods, and Cobblestone Farms make vegan country-style loaves.
2 T margarine
1/3 cup basil leaves, finely chopped
Two ½ inch thick slices country bread cut into ½ inch dice
In a large skillet, melt the butter over moderately high heat. Stir in the chopped basil, then add the bread cubes and toss to coat with the butter. Season the bread cubes with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes, or until the bread cubes are lightly toasted and crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel covered plate to absorb excess oil.
