Don’t throw stale bread away. 🥖
Sausage and Parmesan Strata
Ingredients
6 Italian pork sausages
1 red onion
1 tbsp olive oil
⅔ loaf of day old sourdough
6 eggs
400ml milk
30g grated parmesan cheese
Sea salt, to season
Method
Step 1: Cook the sausages
Pull the sausages from the casings and break up into thumb sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring to brown on all sides.
Add the onion and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring. Turn off the heat and allow the sausage mixture to cool.
Step 2: Prep the egg mixture
Break up the sourdough into rough, bite size pieces. Place in the base of a 2.2 Litre (2.4 Qrt) capacity baking dish.
Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl, until well combined. Season with salt.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, then top with the cooled sausage mixture.
Gently fold the mixture together, then sprinkle over the parmesan.
Set the dish aside for 1 hour to soak, or overnight in the fridge.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced (355°F). Bake the strata for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crisp on top.
Spoon the strata onto serving plates and serve hot.

As a Spaniard, stale bread is the best.
Good good
Brother doesnt want to try the danish way to eat stale bread “øllebrød”
Idk I would probably just eat it like that.
Nothing better than just chowing down on plain bread.
Your recipes are also cool tho. 😀
We want to see popara brother! 😁
You can also make "wentelteefjes"
In Poland we use those old meat mincers (before they sold minced meat in shops) to turn it into fine breadcrumbs, which we use to make schabowy (same thing as schnitzel).
Or add milk and egg to white bread pieces, some sugar and cinnamon, too. And to the oven till it has nice golden brown on top and soft inside. Add some sugar on top of it and serve as it is or with ice cream.
knödel are good too
You can do kofte with breadcrumbs too just mix it with some species and ground beef shape them and fry
In Germany we reuse our bread in a dish called Klöße. It’s delicious.
Øllebrød ! 🎉
Check out açorda, the best way to use bread. There are several versions, depending in what yiu add to it, from pork belly, through aspargos, to pork belly. Gralic, olive oil and coriander are essencial in all if them
Y'all gotta try bundáskenyér. It's like french toast but savoury. Whisk egg, milk, salt, and whatever spices you want. Cook it like french toast, then grate cheese on top while still hot.
#4, croutons
Nice recipes! In the Netherlands we make wentelteefjes with stale bread, a nice sweet treat!
these days andy 4m in the oven costs more power than a new loaf 😉
Wo sind die Semmelknödel?
Who else thinks of hardtack now whenever they hear stale bread hit together?
I prefer to put it in for 6-8 minutes at around 100°C to "revive" it. But I guess a lot of combinations work.
German bread dumplings are my favourite
Or my favourite – save your self a fortune in fancy ingredients and put it in the toaster.
Typically make delicious croutons by soaking in some milk and spices then straining and baking at high heat until crunchy.
Andy! You should try to make salmorejo! It's like gazpacho, but uses stale bread!
I usually make Knödel. You cut it into chunks mix it with milk, eggs, onion and parsley, optionally bacon bits. Basically like a meatball and simmer it in water for 10 to 15 minutes. Amazing side dish for holiday family meals.
