Souffle Croutons

Serves lots

Ingredients

  • 75g full fat Cream Cheese
  • 150g butter
  • 150g grated cheddar
  • White loaf crust cut off
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 large egg whites

Method

  1. Line 2-3 baking sheets with non stick baking parchment.
  2. Melt the cream cheese, butter and grated cheese in a pan over a low heat until completely melted (don’t worry, it will look curdles at this stage). Whisk the egg whites until stiff, fold carefully into the cheese mixture, season with salt & pepper.
  3. Cut the bread into 1” cubes. Dip the cubes, speared with cocktail stick into the souffled mixture until coated, swirl the stick around carefully. Transfer to the baking sheets leaving a small gap between each cube. Put in freezer until needed.
  4. Bake in oven, pre-heated to Gas Mark 7 for 10-12 mins. Until golden brown and puffed up. Turn over after about 6 mins, serve at once.
