2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups day-old bread cubes (about 1 inch)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tomato paste and cook and stir until combined with oil.
Add the bread cubes in a single layer. Let bread toast for 1 minute, then toss again, every minute or so, until the cubes are crisp and and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes total.
Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl. Immediately sprinkle with Italian seasoning and grated cheese. Toss to combine. Serve immediately or the same day they're made.
