BACON-BRIOCHE CROUTONS



Bacon-Brioche Croutons image

I like to garnish soup with croutons-it's a classic combo for a reason. Brioche is a good choice for making croutons because it's so buttery, and the bacon lends a hint of smoky, savory flavor.

Provided by Naomi Pomeroy

Categories     Soup/Stew     Celery     Bacon     Bread

Yield Makes about 2 cups croutons

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups cubed quick brioche, challah, or other egg-enriched bread, in 1⁄4-inch cubes
1/3 cup finely diced bacon (from about 3 thick slices)
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the brioche in a mixing bowl. In a cast-iron skillet or other heavy ovenproof skillet, cook the bacon over medium-low heat for about 3 minutes, until most of the fat has rendered but the bacon hasn't gotten too brown or crispy. Turn off the heat, add the butter to the pan, and swirl the pan until the butter is fully melted. Pour the bacon with the fat into the mixing bowl with the brioche, sprinkle with the salt and pepper, and toss to coat evenly. Spread the croutons across a baking sheet.
  • Bake the croutons, stirring every 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. (Note that brioche will toast up a slightly darker color than some other types of bread because of its sugar and egg content.) The croutons can be made up to 2 hours in advance and rewarmed in the oven just before serving.
