Pancetta Croutons

[Skhilled]

I forgot where I got this recipe from but it was in a magazine.

Ingredients:

4 ounces bread, 1/2" cubes
4 ounces pancetta, 1/2" cubes
   
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
black pepper, freshly ground

How to Prepare:

Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 375 F.

Spread the bread cubes and pancetta on a rimmed baking sheet, sprinkle with oil and a few grinds of black pepper then toss to combine.

Bake, stirring a few times, until the pancetta is crisp and the bread cubes are golden, about 20 minutes.

Let cool.

Use to compliment soups, stews, or salads.
