Despite my best efforts, food occasionally goes bad on me before I can use it. Rather than toss it, I try to look for alternative uses. A perfect example are these Kaiser rolls. They come in a package of 8, and I had 4 leftover that went stale.
Rolls can easily become breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs are one of the simplest things to make. Simple cut or tear into pieces and grind in the food processor.
If you have a lot of leftover bread, you can freeze the excess. It keeps for a couple of months without problems, provided you’re using a good quality freezer bag. I don’t season my breadcrumbs in advance, so they can be used in sweet or savory dishes.
Need some recipes that use up breadcrumbs? Try any of these:
* Burgers
* Meatballs
* Coating for meat/fish
* Toasted and mixed into pasta
* Croquettes
* Topping for Mac and Cheese
* Topping for baked fruit
* Topping for baked eggs
* Vegetable Au Gratin
* Strudel
* Souffle
* Stuffed mushrooms
Do you make or buy breadcrumbs?
Awesome! I can do this tonight! I am making meatloaf so I am going to try this out! Thanks for sharing!
I usually buy breadcrumbs but I have had times when I am out of them and can’t go to the store but I usually just crumble bread or use oatmeal. This is a great option too I had never thought about!
This is a wonderful idea! I hate wasting anything and unfortunately food does go bad around my place 🙁
This looks great! You know it’s good to re-use stuff for other foods. Great idea!
This is such an awesome idea!
