These butter-coated croutons are sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and baked in the oven until crisp, and the cheese is melted.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Place the butter into a large, oven-safe sauté pan over medium-high heat. Once foaming, add the diced bread and stir well to coat. Sprinkle the mixture with a few generous pinches of salt and pepper, and then toss once more to combine.
Transfer the sauté pan to the oven and bake the croutons for 5 minutes, and then stir well and cook for an additional 4 minutes. Remove the croutons, sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese and cook for 2 more minutes. Serve immediately.
