croûtons
Crunchy bread bits
Croûtons are small cubes of bread that have been toasted or fried until crisp, typically seasoned and used as a topping for salads or soups.
The French spelling with the circumflex appears in formal culinary contexts, but the anglicized *croutons* predominates in everyday use: Caesar salad with garlic croûtons.
