It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

Thanks for the tip about the butter. These were tasty with the garden salad that I made.

Tasty! The only problem was that the first pieces you add to the butter in the skillet start to absorb all the butter and spices. I ended up having to double the butter because it was absorbed too quickly. I would recommend melting the butter and mixing with the herbs/spices and then brushing it on the bread. More time consuming but I think it would more evenly distribute it. The croutons baked up nice and crisp. They're great as breadsticks or dippers (I was wishing I had some pizza sauce to dip them in!). I like that they can be frozen so you could make them ahead of time and just keep them on hand.
