Croutons with Caesar flavor

Caesar-flavored croutons are small cubes of toasted bread, seasoned with spices and dressings that evoke the classic Caesar dressing, characterized by its intense and creamy flavor, with notes of garlic, parmesan cheese, and anchovies.

These croutons are commonly used in Caesar salads to provide a crunchy texture and an additional touch of flavor. Their origin is linked to American cuisine, specifically to the famous Caesar salad created in Tijuana, Mexico, by chef Caesar Cardini in the 1920s.

In addition to enhancing the flavor of salads, Caesar-flavored croutons can be used as a crunchy complement in soups or creams, adding variety and richness to the dish.

Properties: Being basically toasted bread with seasonings, they are a source of carbohydrates and provide quick energy. The additional ingredients used for flavor, such as parmesan cheese and garlic, may offer a slight contribution of protein and antioxidants, but they often also contain sodium, so moderate consumption is recommended.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: They may be called croutones con sabor a César, cubitos de pan sabor César, or simply crotones condimentados estilo César.
