Croutons are considered one of the oldest types of dishes. This is due to the fact that people originally invented bread, and then began to experiment with it. The remains of bread were not thrown away, as the process of baking was labor-intensive. Therefore, bread was eaten even in stale form. But, later a recipe was invented for a more palatable use of dry bread. It was soaked in milk and egg mixture and then toasted.
Later, this method of preparing stale bread was used in all the countries of Europe. However, in each state, croutons were called differently.
