Bacon croutons
Jul 14, 2013Posted by guestchefPrintThis bacon crouton recipe, made from leftover pizza bread, is easy to make while heating up your oven for the pizza.
Bacon croutons
Ingredients
- 1 pound bacon
- 2 cups bread cubes cut into 1/2 inch pieces preferably left over pizza oven bread
Instructions
- While heating up your oven for pizza, place bacon in a cast iron fry pan and place in oven door, keep an eye on it and rotate bacon as so it won’t burn. Once the bacon is crisp, remove the fry pan from the oven being careful because it will be hot, remove bacon to side dish, place the bread cubes into the fry pan and toss with the bacon fat. Place the fry pan back into the oven to toast the bread, this only takes about 2 minutes tossing bread every 30 seconds or so.
- I use half of the bacon as a pizza topping and the rest is cut into bacon bits and added to a Caesar salad along with the croutons.
Notes
Note: this will be the best bacon you have ever had so refrain from eating all of it before it makes it onto a pizza or the salad.
