Notes
- Tips:
Homemade Croutons: For homemade croutons, cube day-old bread, toss with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and bake at 375°F (190°C) until golden.
Egg Safety: If you’re concerned about using raw egg, you can substitute with mayonnaise or pasteurized egg yolks.
Customization: Feel free to add grilled chicken, shrimp, or bacon for extra protein.
