Final Assembly

Ingredients

1 Loaf Crusty Bread (French Or Italian), Sliced

Instructions

Notes

This skillet-fried garlic bread is crisped to perfection—savory, cheesy, and worthy of any captain’s table. Serve alongside pasta, soup, or as a standalone snack. Keeps well in the ship’s stores for up to 2 days; reheat in a hot skillet to restore its crunch.
