Gather your ingredients so that you have everything close at hand on the counter or table.
Using a cutting board and chef's knife, slice sourdough bread into 1-inch cubes.
In a large skillet, heat extra virgin olive oil and butter on medium heat until melted.
Add the cubed sourdough to the butter and toss and stir until lightly coated. Cook on medium low heat until croutons are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes, turning often.
Sprinkle the croutons with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve warm with soup or at room temperature on your favorite salad. Makes 2 cups.
Notes
*I like to save my sourdough bread crumbs and freeze them for use as croutons.**Unless otherwise indicated, all butter used on this recipe site is salted.
