🍞 Don’t toss that stale bread just yet!

A great habit to get into is storing bread in the freezer so it stays fresh for longer and doesn't go stale or mouldy. But if your bread has gone a little stale, there are still plenty of ways to put it to good use!

✨ Make breadcrumbs for homemade crumbed chicken, fish or stuffing. Simply toast the bread until dry, then blend or crush it into crumbs.

✨ Create crunchy croutons for soups and salads. Toast the bread and cut it into cubes for an easy homemade crouton.

✨ Use it as the base for savoury muffins, like our Rainbow Frittata Muffins. (recipe on our website)

Reducing food waste is good for your wallet and the environment, and with a little creativity, stale bread can become the star ingredient in your next meal.

What's your favourite way to use up stale bread? Let us know below 👇

📣📣NEW Recipe Alert!📣📣

This One Pot Vegetable Risoni is packed with veggies and makes a delicious side dish to serve alongside grilled meat, chicken or fish. If you don't have these vegetables on hand, you can easily swap them for leek, pumpkin, sweet potato, corn or cauliflower.

Not only is this recipe delicious, but the best part is that it all comes together in one pot, meaning less washing up afterwards! ☺️
