| LEFTOVER BREAD 1. Break bread into small pieces and place in a bowl. For every couple slices of bread, crack 2 small or 1 large egg. Mix together until bread is moist with egg, (use plenty of egg). Fry in a little oil on medium heat until egg is set and pieces slightly browned. Serve as you would French toast. 2. Make stuffing. Break bread into small pieces and dry completely. Save in a paper bag until you have enough to make a batch of dressing. (About 1 loaf). I like to flavor bread with the following: salt, pepper, sage to taste, one large chopped onion, and two cups chopped celery - saute vegetables together in about a cube of butter until tender. Add bread. Moisten with chicken broth and use to stuff chicken, turkey, pork chops or just bake in the oven all by itself. 3. Make Bread Pudding - see recipes in Desserts. 4. Break bread into hot stewed tomatoes, (green peppers, onions, and tomatoes that are cooked tender) then steam bread until it is hot - use enough bread to absorb most of the juice. 5. Dry bread and make crumbs so you can make chicken fried steak. Dip cubed steaks in butter-milk or beaten egg and then dip in a mixture of 1/4 cup flour and 1/2 cup finely ground bread crumbs. Fry in oil. |
