please can I have some recipes/interesting ideas to use up lots of bread crumbs, thanks

[HenMarie]

when i have left over bread crumbs i usually make veggie sausages! i soften all the veg in the microwave, then squidge it in a bowl with breadcrumbs n herbs etc and then fry them they freeze too which is great

[fluffyknickers]

I have leftover breadcrumbs in my feezer and I use the for coating meat and crispy herby toppings on soups and casseroles.

[Mrs Frugal]

Some steamed pudding recipes have breadcrumbs in like spotted dick and the nice old fashioned steamed chocolate sponge my boys love. I use some for coating scotch eggs and homemade chicken nuggets too.

[Ygerna]

I recall, way, way back in time when I was in school, we had to make a 'Queen of Puddings' and I feel fairly certain that it contained breadcrumbs.

 

...off to google it...

 

ETA- Ta-DA! Good ol' Delia http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/queen-of-puddings,1935,RC.html

You can also use breadcrumbs on the top of a treacle tart (or crushed cornflakes). Either way, it's toothachingly droolworthy!

I make chicken nuggets/goujons with mine.

[Lesley]

I make bread sauce and freeze it.

This sounds rather yummy! Will have to give it a go I think

I know its not a proper recipe,but if I have lftover bread I whizz it to crumbs,drench it in olive oil & feed it to the hens

[Looney]

OK. I'm slightly embarrassed to ask this question , but, how do you make breadcrumbs? Do you just whizz up the bread in a food processor? Does the bread need to be stale? Can you use the crusts as well? Do you just stick in freezer bags and whack them in the freezer to freeze them?

 

[chickencam]

That's how I do mine. I have a Braun stick blender that slots onto a small bowl with a blade in it and I use that then stick them in the freezer.

[Mrs Frugal]

I've got a small electric food chopper which I use to make crumbs from leftover slices of bread, crusts and all. The hens get some but most of them go into a plastic food box in the freezer which I just keep topping up. They can be added, frozen to most of the recipes I use and take minutes to defrost if necessary. You can also make breadcrumbs with a grater but it's tedious and you end up grating more fingernails than bread or you can use a mincer but the crumbs tend to come out rather compacted!

[Mrs Webmuppet]

Stuff a mushroom with the following mix (the mix freezes well too)

 

Add some finely chopped parsley, a little chopped garlic and a pinch of parmesan. Pile the mix onto a large flat mushroom, drizzle with olive oil and microwave (or cook in the oven).

[Tessa the Duchess]

Poet you could make Lesley's posh nut roast, it uses breadcrumbs and is totally yum, I make it again last night

Thanks! I have one of those Braun stick blender with different attachments too. We always have left over bread that goes stale before we manage to eat it so now I can try some of these recipes too!

 

Yay!

Sounds good as a stuffing for a roast chicken As for a live hen, wouldn't it give them the, erm, squits?

[Guest]

thanks for the ideas so far

 

I used some tonight to make I suppose what you'd call chicken goujons? Strips of chicken dipped in beaten egg then dipped in breadcrumbs mixed with garlic salt, chilli powder and jerk seasoning and then done in the oven for 30 mins.

 

We dipped them in that home made chilli jam, they were really nice

Nope, its a rare treat & the olive oil is really good for them every couple of weeks

[Looney]

Well, I made breadcrumbs and used them to coat fishy veg cakes that I made for Bogwoppit's tea! Very succesful - he ate the lot!
