Croutons:
For preparing croutons, remove the crusts from the slices of stale white bread and cut the bread into cubes. Shallow fry these cubes in shallow or deep fat or oil and butter, until they turn golden brown.

Puff triangles

Cheese toast
The basic idea behind the accepted French onion soup can be adapted for use with other soup. Take slices of crusty bread and toast on one side, spread the other side with grated cheese and grill until it bubbles slice, arrange in soup bowls and pour the soup over.

Bread and garlic
Instead of serving pre-prepared garlic warm a crusty loaf of bread, slice at the table and serve with a bowl of butter that has been impregnated with garlic and chopped herbs.
