Wikidata

  1. Crouton

    A crouton is a 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". Most people consider croutons to come invariably in the shape of small cubes, but they can actually be of any size and shape, up to a very large slice. A crouton is a diminutive form of a croute, much like a cigarette is a diminutive form of a cigar. Many people now use crouton for croute so the usage has changed, however, historically a croute was a slice of a baguette lightly brushed with oil or clarified butter and baked. In French cooking 'croûte' is not only a noun but also a verb that describes the cooking process that transforms the bread into the crust. A croûton is a smaller form of a croûte.
