- 6 slices white bread
- 1/2 cup clarified butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
-
- Toast the bread slices lightly. Remove crusts and cut the bread into
- one-half-inch squares. Clarify the butter by melting it in a saucepan,
- then separating the clear butter from the milky residue. Discard the
- residue. Transfer the clarified butter to a skillet and put it over medium
- heat. Stir in garlic. Add the cubes of bread and saute, stirring, until
- crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
