Panzanella Salad
Were starting this list out with an Italian summer favourite that combines soaked stale bread with tomatoes, vegetables, and basil. Healthy and refreshing, its ideal for when youd like a little something light to start your day with. The recipe calls for crusty bread, extra virgin olive oil, ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, red onion, basil, red wine vinegar, and garlic. Dress your bread well to help it crisp up, toss all the ingredients with the vinaigrette, and serve immediately.
Ribollita
Another Italian classic albeit one for those chilly rainy mornings Ribollita is a Tuscan bread soup that features leftover bread and vegetables. To whip this one up, youll need onion, celery, carrots, tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, cannellini beans, vegetable stock, kale, and parmesan rind. Simmer the soup for 20 minutes to really allow the flavours to develop and serve with crusty bread. The latter will soak in all of the juices and add a hearty deliciousness to each bite. Top with freshly-grated parmesan. You could also make a batch of this over the weekend and have it through the week, the flavours get better as the soup sits. This is also perfect for when youre feeling under the weather.
Croissant French Toast
If youve got some croissants leftover at home, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay has a decadent breakfast option for you. Youd need Granny Smith apples, custard, eggs, demerara sugar, butter, creme fraiche, honey, cinnamon, powdered sugar, and 10 minutes of your morning. Whisk up your eggs, make holes in the croissants, squeeze in the custard in the bread, and caramelise the apples. Toast the egg-dipped croissant with butter and put it all together! Dust with powdered cinnamon sugar. If you like dessert for breakfast, this recipe is perfect.
Prawn Toast
A popular street snack and appetiser in Hong Kong, prawn toast (or shrimp toast) features triangles of bread thats deep fried with a protein mince. However, it also doubles up as a fun breakfast bite. This recipe ups the ante with Thai flavours, courtesy of a sweet tangy chilli sauce and fragrant kaffir lime, basil, and mint leaves. Youll also need firm white fish, peeled prawns, coriander, eggs, sugar, baguette, sesame seeds, fish sauce, white vinegar, lime juice, red chilli, and garlic. Store the uncooked toast for up to a week in the chiller (or longer in the freezer) and fry it all up right before eating. If youve got guests over or are feeling fancy on a weekend afternoon, this recipe is a must-try.
Savoury Bread Pudding
When life hands you stale bread, turn it into a hearty pudding. This savoury bread pudding is meant to be shared and is quite easy to whip up. Youll need a can of mushroom soup, eggs, milk, Italian sausage, mushrooms, leeks, thyme, parsley, gruyere cheese, and some sourdough bread.
