Corn Muffin Croutons Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450º. Place cornbread cubes in large bowl and drizzle melted butter over all. Stir lightly but thoroughly so that all cubes are buttered.
• Spread evenly on a baking sheet. Toast in the oven for 7-10 minutes, turning once, or until cubes are browned the way you like them.
• Serve warm or cooled on salads, chilis, and soups.

Steps:

• Cut corn muffins or corn bread into 3/4-inch cubes; toss with olive oil and salt.
• Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until golden, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin pan or line with paper muffin liners.
• In a large bowl, mix together corn meal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add egg, oil and milk; stir gently to combine. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.
• Bake at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. In a medium saucepan, cook the bacon strips over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and crisp, about 7 minutes. Transfer the crispy bacon to a plate and pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat from the saucepan. Add the onion and garlic to the fat in the saucepan and cook, stirring, until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and maple syrup and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until thick, about 3 minutes. Add the pink beans and their liquid and cook until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and bacon strips, season lightly with salt and cayenne pepper and simmer the soup over moderate heat until thickened slightly, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, spread the corn muffin cubes on a small baking sheet and bake for 7 to 8 minutes, until they are golden and crisp. Let the corn muffin croutons cool slightly. Ladle the soup into deep bowls, garnish with the corn muffin croutons and chopped scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
• Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F. Grease or spray cookie sheet. In medium bowl, mix all ingredients except chili, stirring until just combined. Pour onto cookie sheet, spreading into thin layer.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom is golden brown. Cool about 2 minutes, and cut into 1-inch squares in pan. Using spatula, separate squares.
• Bake about 5 minutes longer or until croutons are crusty and golden brown. Serve with chili.
