Cheesy Herbed Croutons

3 slices white bread with crusts
1/2 tsp celery seed
4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut bread slices into 3/4 inch cubes with a serrated knife.  Crush the celery seed using a mortar and pestle.

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.  Remove from heat.  stir in the crushed celery seed, Parmesan, garlic salt, oregano, and basil.  Add bread cubes and toss to coat.

Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer on a baking sheet.  Bake, turning twice with a spatula, until lightly browned, about 6 minutes.  Spread on paper towels.  Let stand until cool.  Store in an airtight container.
