Notes

Skillet Croutons for topping: Cut the bread slices into cubes and just put some olive oil in a deep skillet over medium heat and toss the cubes around in there until golden brown (they should be mostly coated with a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking and promote browning). Transfer to paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil and sprinkle with salt. It’s kind of a cross between baked croutons and lightly fried bread.
