What does CROUTE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A small round or oval piece of bread, fried or toasted until crisp, used as a base for serving a savory topping or as a garnish for soup.
A croute gives a crunchy, sturdy base under a spread of pate, cheese, or another rich topping, so that the dish can be picked up and eaten without falling apart. The word comes directly from French, where it simply means crust, and it appears in the familiar restaurant phrase en croute, describing meat or fish baked inside a pastry crust rather than the small bread rounds themselves. Cooks sometimes use croute for the single, careful preparation meant to hold a specific topping at a formal meal.
How CROUTE is used
Used mainly in cooking and on restaurant menus for a crisp bread base or garnish, and in the set phrase en croute for food baked in pastry.
- The chef topped each croute with a spoonful of duck pate.
