PARMESAN CUBES Bread cut in 1-inch cubes (day-old French bread or Italian) 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 pound melted butter Dunk the bread cubes in the butter—briefly, or they will absorb too much!—roll in grated Parmesan, and bake in the oven until golden brown—about 5 to 10 minutes in a very hot oven.
