Food sometimes is not consumed in time and loses its freshness and taste, but is still edible. Then the only option is to prepare something according to a new recipe. Most often, what remains from the table is the bread, which becomes stale and begins to crumble.
The stale bread you have left over from the holiday table can be used to make Skordalia sauce, dried for croutons with spices or to make fried meatballs when the time comes.
These are just some of the ideas for using leftover bread.
What to prepare with leftover bread
Here are some tasty ideas for utilizing leftover bread.
Stale bread loaf
One old bread is crumbled, a mixture of 6 eggs, some steamed spinach, 5.3 oz (150 g) of white cheese, 5.3 oz (150 g) of sliced salami, 5.3 oz (150 g) of sliced cheese, 1 finely chopped tomato and spices according to taste - salt and black pepper are prepared and the mixture is kneaded with the bread. Pour the mixture into a greased sponge cake tin, cover it with foil and bake for about 20-25 minutes in the oven, heated to 390°F (200°C). Finally, the foil is removed, it is sprinkled with grated yellow cheese and baked again for 5 minutes.
Stale bread pie
The bread is cut into medium-thick slices and the crust is removed. Place them tightly in a greased baking pan. If the bread is too dry, it can be soaked in milk. Separately, beat 2-3 eggs, 10.5 oz (300 g) of white cheese (feta) and 1.1 lb (500 g) of yogurt. The mixture is poured over the bread, a few pieces of butter are placed on top and it is baked like a regular pie.
Souffle with bread and yellow cheese
10 oz (300 g) of dry bread is cut into small pieces and poured with 3 cups of milk. When it is soaked well, add 5 egg yolks, beaten with salt, as much black pepper as you like and 2.6 oz (75 g) of melted butter. Everything is mixed well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. Add 4.4 oz (125 g) of grated yellow cheese and finally the whites of the five eggs, beaten until a smooth mixture is obtained. The resulting mixture is stirred and poured into a deep container - a sponge cake or souffle mold, which has been previously greased with butter and sprinkled with flour. Sprinkle another 4.4 oz (125 g) of grated yellow cheese on top. Bake for 20 minutes, initially in a high heated oven, by gradually reducing the heat to moderate. It is not removed immediately from the oven because the sudden change in temperature causes the souffle to flatten immediately.
Old bread can be used for making croutons, eggy bread, popara and other well-known recipes.
