Garlic croutons are an ideal snack to accompany the foam. Crispy ruddy bread crust in combination with aromatic garlic perfectly set off the malt taste of dark and light beer. Croutons are easy to prepare, require no special skills, and ingredients can be found in every kitchen. This appetizer is the best option for relaxing at home and outdoors.

Homemade garlic croutons

Garlic croutons have become classics for a long time. They are often served with beer in bars and pubs. But why waste money if you can prepare a flavored snack at home in 5 minutes?

Ingredients:

Bread - 500 g.
Garlic - 50 g.
Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons.
Olive oil - 1 teaspoon
Salt is a teaspoon.

Any bread will do - white, dark, from rye flour or corn. It is even possible with additives like sunflower, pumpkin seeds or all sorts of spices and spices: this will give the croutons a special piquancy.

Store sliced bread won't work. It's cut too thin. When frying, the bread dries out completely, turning into stone. It is better to cut the bread into croutons on your own. The optimal piece thickness is 1.5 cm.
Suitable for croutons and stale bread- this will not interfere with the final taste, as long as it is mold-free.
We cut the bread into small pieces, the shape does not matter. It's a matter of taste. Can be cut into simple pieces that are served. Can be in cubes or small oblong slices.
You will need a large enough pan. Preheat a skillet and add a volume comparable to that required for frying minced meat... Lay out the sliced bread, salt and add dried garlic.
Determine the amount based on your taste preferences and the intended direction of further use. When in doubt, add a minimum and taste in 1-2 minutes. Then adjust the amount of salt or garlic and bring the flavor to the desired level.
Mix the croutons well with a spatula, add more oil. The croutons should be soaked in fat, enriched with rich additives. The total cooking time is 2-3 minutes over high heat.
Remove the skillet from the stove and transfer the crunchy croutons to a platter to cool. Use a paper towel to reduce calories. A glass of cold beer will be very useful for tasting.
There are two other ways to “garlic” ready-to-eat croutons.
We take salt and a peeled chive. Dip the garlic in salt and rub the toasted sides of the bread. The more we rub, the brighter the taste will be.
Press all the garlic through a garlic press or finely chop. Then we mix the garlic mass with a little salt and olive oil. Spread the garlic on one side of the toast.
The first method is more suitable for well-done toasts, and the second is more suitable for slightly dried.
For taste, aroma and beauty, you can add a little greenery - parsley or dill to taste.
Garlic croutons with cheese
The ingredients are the same as for the classic garlic croutons. One more ingredient will be added - cheese.
Any cheese for homemade croutons with garlic will do. A budget option- processed cheeses, a more expensive option - cheese hard varieties... Even dried out will do - this does not affect the final taste. Cheese with ham or spices will add spice to croutons.
For 500 g of bread, you need 4-5 pieces of processed cheese or 300 g of hard cheese. Leave the curds in the freezer an hour before cooking. They will freeze and become hard. The cheese will not stick to the grater.
Once one side of the croutons is browned, remove them from the pan. We remove excess oil from them with paper napkins, and rub with garlic. Or we spread the garlic mass on the ruddy side.
Next, we send the pieces to a hot frying pan, uncooked side down. Sprinkle with grated cheese on top. It is not difficult to grate hard cheese on a grater, but you will have to tinker with melted cheese. This problem can be easily solved.
We fry croutons with cheese for just a couple of minutes. If the bread is cut into small cubes or long sticks, you can stir it with the melted cheese.
Garlic sauce for croutons
Garlic sauce with croutons is another option homemade snack for beer.
It is better to cut the bread for making croutons into small pieces or cubes. This will make it easier to eat the sauce.
The base for the sauce is an important ingredient. Mayonnaise is perfect for lovers of the classic taste of the sauce. Sour cream and yogurt without fillers - for adherents of a healthy diet.

This option is less high in calories.
Mayonnaise, sour cream (15-20%) or classic yogurt - 200 g.
Garlic - 50 g. Garlic in sauce can also be used green, in feathers.
Greens (dill, parsley) - 2 tablespoons.
Salt, pepper, spices - to taste.

Put mayonnaise, sour cream or classic yogurt in a deep plate. Three garlic on a grater, press through a garlic press or finely chop. Finely chop the greens.
Add herbs and garlic to the sauce base. Mix thoroughly. Add salt and seasonings to taste. Mix again.
For the brightness of the taste, leave garlic Sause for 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator. Garlic and herbs will make juice. The sauce base will be saturated with the flavors and aromas of the ingredients, which will have a positive effect on the taste of a homemade beer snack.
Garlic croutons can be served with beer both cold and hot.

Croutons have long been considered one of the best snacks for beer. They are delicious, natural, easy to prepare, and inexpensive. If you still do not know how to properly prepare toast for beer at home, then I recommend that you familiarize yourself with the proposed recipes. We'll look at options with flavors of garlic, cheese, and simply salty.

To make delicious toast for beer, it is better to take whole bread, and not chopped, since the store cuts are too thin. Stale bread is also suitable, as long as there is no mold on it. The optimum thickness of the slices is 0.5-1 cm. Thicker slices take a very long time to fry and are inconvenient to eat, while thinner ones burn, losing their taste.
