Outback Steakhouse Croutons Recipe

Outback Steakhouse Croutons RecipeThis is by request for someone who was trying to make the Outback Steakhouse Recipe for their side salad.  The salad itself is fairly basic, but these croutons are what adds that special punch to the mix. These are a very buttery and rick flavored crouton with a nice subtle mix of cajun flavoring that adds just a touch of spice (but not too much).  I would suggest using the cheapest bread you can find, even (and maybe especially) if it’s getting a little stale.  This may be the time to try out some of the stuff you find at the day-old bakery.

As you make these croutons, please take the care to get the butter to the exact right consistency. Some have said it should look a lot like mayonnaise when it’s just right.  If you follow the instructions exactly, this should work out well for you if you have  standard wattage microwave.

  • 2 full loafs of bread (remember: just get the cheap stuff)

  7. Gently mix the cool croutons into the butter mix until completely coated.
  8. Place the croutons back onto the cookie sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes at 350°.
