Y’all know how I feel about food waste. Sometimes, your bread just goes stale a little faster than you thought it would. If that’s the case all is not lost! Here are 6 recipes to use stale bread.
If it’s not a complete brick, run it under running water and microwave for 30 seconds. It will steam creating an almost fluffy bread. You can also make crostini after softening. Slice it and brush the slices with olive oil, and bake at 400F for roughly 5 minutes.
Run the stale loaf under running water and microwave for 30 seconds. Cut it into small cubes. Brush the pieces with olive oil, and bake at 400°F for roughly 5 minutes. They’re way better than the stuff you get in a bag at the grocery store.
Run the stale loaf under running water and microwave for 30 seconds. Rip it into large chunks and place in a dish. Add some sauteed onions, sage, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly add in vegetable stock. Bake at 375°F until golden brown.
Run the stale loaf under running water and microwave for 30 seconds. Rip into large chunks and place at the bottom of an 8′ x 8′ glass pan. Whisk eggs with milk. You can throw in any toppings you like cheese, sausage, onions, or veggies. Bake at 350°F for an hour.
Rip into large chunks and place in a mason jar. Whisk in eggs, milk, and melted butter. Pour into the mason jar and let sit overnight or several nights. Pour onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 20 minutes. I always use the toaster oven at work, and then I sprinkle with lots of cinnamon sugar!
