Cooking Steps
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium. When hot, add bacon. (NOTE: For 4 servings, cook bacon in batches.) Cook for 6-9 min, flipping occasionally, until crispy.**
- Remove the pan from heat. Using tongs, transfer bacon to a paper towel-lined cutting board. Set aside.
- Discard all but 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) bacon fat.
- Meanwhile, cut baguette into 1-inch pieces. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toss baguette pieces with reserved bacon fat, then season with half the garlic salt and pepper.
- Toast in the middle of the oven, for 5-6 min, stirring halfway through, until lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, peel, then finely chop shallot.
