Vegan Truffled Sourdough Crouton Crumbles

Truffled sourdough Crouton Crumbles sound incredibly cheffy and posh, but in fact they are incredibly easy, but add a delicious (and luxurious) flavour to soups or salads.

I have used these crumbles with my family favourite, Jerusalem Artichoke Soup, and it transforms an already luxurious soup into a dish perfect for a festive starter!

How do you make Sourdough Croutons?

Easy! Because sourdough is quite open textured, and a little dryish, you don't really need to let the bread dry out as you would normal bread. I like to tear the sourdough into smallish chunks, and some crumbs as well, to give a great mix of textures. When this is stirred into the soup, it tastes amazing!

I crumble the croutons directly into my olive oil/truffle mixture, give them a quick toss, and then saute them over a moderate heat. Do not leave them unattended though as they can burn quickly!

Note: you can buy a reasonably priced jar of Salsa Truffina here.

Can I use other bread to make croutons?

Of course! If you are gluten-free, go ahead and use your favourite GF loaf. If you only have ciabatta or brown bread, or even a cheapo white loaf, they will all make fabulous croutons. However, I would recommend leaving the bread out of the packaging to dry out for a while, otherwise the croutons may be a little soggy!
