Bread crusts with parmesan

Ingredients:

• 7-8 cups of crusts cut from stale bread
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C.
2. In a large bowl, drizzle the crusts with olive oil. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper and gently toss until the crusts are evenly coated. Add the Parmesan and thyme and gently toss to coat. Arrange them in an even layer on 2 baking sheets. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese and thyme from the bowl.
3. Bake, stirring halfway through, until the crusts are deep golden and crisp, about 20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
