Warm cheese croutons

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
Cotija cheese
Olive oil

Directions

Cotija, an Hispanic-style cheese, softens but does not melt when heated. It can make a deliciously different crouton for salads and soups and doesn't need breading.

To prepare, cut leftover cheese into small cubes, saute briefly in a preheated nonstick skillet with olive oil until browned on all sides, 1 minute to 2 minutes.

Pop them into your favorite salad or soup just before serving. A dash of hot pepper sauce before serving will add some zing to this mild cheese.
