Makes min. 40 chunky croutons
Baking time 20-24 mins
Ingredients:
1 Honeybuns Cornbread mix made up as per pack instructions but do not add the butter
Several snipped thyme sprigs
150g grated parmesan and/or mature cheddar
3 free range eggs
Additional sea salt and cracked black pepper to sprinkle
Rapeseed oil for frying
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 180oC/350oF.
Brush a baking tray (32cm x 22cm x 2cm) with oil.
Pop all ingredients except the sprinkle seasoning in a mixing bowl.
Mix using an electric hand whisk until you get a rough crumble mix.
Gently squidge the mix into a ball by hand and then press into your tin.
Bake for 22-24 mins. until firm to the touch and a lovely deep golden colour.
Leave to cool completely before cutting into inch square cubes.
Add a little rapeseed oil to a non stick frying pan and fry them off in small batches, turning them to crisp up each side.
Season as you like with more sea salt, cracked black pepper and thyme.
