My husband loves them. He uses them as an excuse to slather on a little more butter than he normally would!
ReplyDeleteI thought all of your suggestions were great!
I use them for bread crumbs. We always need bread crumbs for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI always do option 12, only it's my darling husband I'm fooling, not children. :-)
ReplyDeleteSigh...I wish my family liked strata type dishes as much as I do. That looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWow those all sound great but we NEVER have any crusts left... in fact we usually don't have enough crusts to go around!!
ReplyDeleteI've made your pineapple stuffing before with crusts... it's yummy :)

ReplyDeleteThose are great ideas. I just eat it.
ReplyDeleteMake a terrific cheeseburger casserole! In a 9 by 13, layer: bread cubes, fried ground-beef (w onion and s and p), chopped pickle and celery, grated cheese, squirts of ketchup and mustard, and top with more bread cubes. Mix together 2 eggs and 3/4 c milk and pour over all. Bake at 350 for 1/2 hour.
ReplyDeleteYou can really put anything into these layers, depending on what you like. I always keep a bag of odd bread pieces going in the freezer until I have about 10 slices' worth, for this recipe.
Thanks for sharing your ideas, too. Gotta try some of those.
The crusts don't get differentiated from the regular bread around here. But I do use bread to make the things you mentioned. Just did a post on why I save breadcrumbs from the cutting board :)
