(by Shirley McNevich)

2 TBSP butter
1/2 tsp. parsley flakes
1/8 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. garlic salt
1/8 tsp. pepper
2 slices of bread (cut carefully into cubes)

Spray a microwave safe baking dish with Pam--set aside. Add the butter to a microwave safe coffee cup and microwave on high for about :25 seconds or until the butter is melted. Remove from microwave and add parsley, paprika, garlic salt and pepper--stir. Spread bread cubes on the bottom of the baking dish. Carefully pour the butter mixture on top of the bread cubes, then shake and stir until bread cubes are coated. Place baking dish in microwave and cook on high uncovered for 3 minutes or until bread cubes are golden brown and crispy (stir the cubes once every minute while cooking them).
