In a small skillet over high heat, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and when hot add the bread.

Toast the croutons to your liking, then remove from heat.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Meanwhile, prepare and chop 1 shallot.

Coarsely chop the parsley.

Remarks
Instead of a shallot in step 5, you can use a red onion.

Do not hesitate to use stale bread to make the croutons, it is completely in the spirit of the recipe, even if they are a little dry, they will be softened by the tomato juice.
