INGREDIENTS
8 pieces cooked bacon, roughly chopped
2 cloves garlic
2 Tbsp fresh chives
2 Tbsp fresh tarragon
1 stick unsalted butter, melted
Salt, to taste
Pepper, to taste
1 loaf French bread, cut into bite-size pieces
DIRECTIONS
Set oven at 375 degrees. In a food processor, add bacon, garlic, chives, and tarragon. Blend until the ingredients are chopped into small bits. While processor is on, drizzle in the butter. Salt and pepper to taste.
In a mixing bowl, combine bread and bacon butter. Using your hands, spread the butter into the bread. Spread the butter-soaked bread on a lined sheet pan. Add any remaining bacon bits left in the mixing bowl to the bread on the pan.
Place the bread in the oven, tossing once or twice to ensure that all sides toast evenly. Bake for 15–20 minutes until browned. Remove from oven and cool.
Add bacon croutons to the top of a hot bowl of soup, preferably our “Peace Porridge” (page 93). Croutons taste great on salads, as well.
