I took this pic few days ago on a cellphone, so excuse the resolution, my camera needs a new battery, or whatever.

Anyway, it's no secret I love seafood. So I prepared this brunch with shrimp, smoked salmon, chillies and a prepared French soup from Carrefour called “Soupe de Possions.” The only thing that was missing were the croutons. But I improvised by cutting pita bread in little squares and then heating them on the skillet until they got nice and crisp.

The result was a delicious subsitute.

So if croutons are not an options do what I did and slice the pita bread and heat them in the skillet for a couple of minutes.

or you can take any bread , rolls, etc. and cut them into pieces.`.put them in hot oil with garlic and onion powder and a sprig of fresh rosemary.fry them until crisp, then the minute they come out drain them on a paper towel and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on them ( i prefer Locatelli Romano cheese) [Razz]

Oh wow!I never knew Egyptians liked spices as well.
All I know is they are very tough but not aware they like hot food as well.
Pita bread and shrimps not sure how well they blend together.

Thanks for the tips [Smile] Those sound very simple yet delicious alternatives to croutons.

I'll defintely try 'em next time when I'm having soup.
