Ingredients:
- 8 slices bacon
- half baguette (230g), sliced into 3/4 inch cubes about 4 cups
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 190 °C. Place the bacon in a single layer on half of a baking sheet with raised edges. On the remaining half of the baking sheet, combine the bread cubes and mix them with the olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes, remember to stir the bread cubes halfway through baking. The bacon should be crunchy and the bread cubes should be golden. Break the bacon into large chunks.
