Weekend Recipes: Puffed Soup Croutons

 

Several years ago, Mike and I were celebrating a special occasion. He made reservations at a fine dining restaurant, where I ordered a bowl of Lobster Bisque, prior to the main course. When it arrived, the waiter took a pair of silver tongs and placed the biggest crustiest, golden crouton right dab in the center.

 

Talk about impressive!

 

While picking up a few items at the grocery store that other day, I thought to make some for our homemade Banana Squash soup (squash grown in Nerdin Gardens) for dinner that night then and added puff pastry to the list of items.

 

Puffed Soup Croutons

Directions:

Roll out puff pastry on parchment.

Cut squares out. Choose your own size.

Brush a thin layer of mayonaise on top of all.

Sprinkle Salad Supreme seasoning sparingly. 

Finish with adding shredded parmesan cheese.

 

Bake at 400 degrees on center rack for 10 - 15 minutes for smaller size croutons or when golden brown. Take out and put on a plate and add to soup. Delicious and so simple!

Good morning Wanda. Those look so good!  I love it when something happens like that and then you go back and make them at home.  I would not have thought of making Croutons from puff pastry.  A few years ago we went out to eat with some friends and they ordered croutons as an appetizer.  They were so good!  After we got back home we made some and they were delicious.  I haven’t thought about them again until now.  I will definitely have to try these!

Good morning, Wanda... that certainly seems simple enough. I was expecting a very complicated process.

Hmm, those puffed soup croutons look pretty fancy, and I am sure that they are delicious as well.

What a timely idea.  Soup it will be.  Have a great, but warm winter week.

Making homemade puff pastry might complicate the recipe but this is very simple, Nina Hollander, Broker. Mike loved them!

Neither did I, until we went to that restaurant, Kat Palmiotti. They are so flaky and light!

Hi Wanda- ohhhh those look so good!!! And...I bought some puff pastry this weekend. I bet they'd be good on a salad too. How did you choose mayo rather than another kind of oil???

I looked online and one recipe called for mayo and it worked so well, Kathy Streib. It helped the seasonings and cheese to adhere. You and Larry will enjoy them!
