A delightful recipe for creating flavorful herbed bread crumbs, perfect for enhancing your dishes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even toasting of the bread slices.
Place the baguette slices on a cookie sheet and toast them in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.
Keep an eye on the bread to prevent over-toasting.
Let the toasted baguette slices cool slightly, then cut them into cubes.
Cooling the bread makes it easier to handle and cut.
Place the bread cubes in a blender. Add the parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Layer the herbs and spices evenly for consistent blending.
Blend the mixture for about 15-20 seconds, or until the bread cubes are ground into fine crumbs.
Pulse the blender to avoid over-processing and ensure a uniform texture.
Transfer the herbed bread crumbs to a container and store them for future use.
Use an airtight container to maintain freshness.
