What can I do with breadcrumbs?

As well as chicken nuggets, chicken escalopes/turkey escalopes are very nice. I know you can use breadcrumbs in Christmas pudding. I do find that I dont keep too much as otherwise my freezer is taken over! I dry the crusts first , and then use my blender to make breadcrumbs and freze in the £ shop containers which are nice and slim. HTH.

I use breadcrumbs when i make burgers, fish cakes, bean loafs etc to hold the mixture together. Then freeze in individual food bags ready for when i next use them.

I am going to have a go at making some burgers, so I will use some in that. Might also make some sausage patties.

Thanks!

I* use them in stuffing and in rissoles. Also cover chicken breasts and fish before frying. I also cut crusts up with scissors into cubes, and fry them for soup croutons.

Hi Bluis,

This earlier thread has lots of ideas that should help:

I'll add your thread to it later to keep the suggestions together.

I have mountains too, and use this recipe for bread and butter pudding using crumbs instead of slices.

I tweak it a little, and add more crumbs and sultanas, but it is quick to batch make, freeze in portions and instant puddings for years to come!

mix with seasoning/herbs/cheese and sprinkle over pretty much anything - flick over a bit of oil then bake in the oven for a gratin - works with ratatouille type dishes, cauliflower cheese etc. I'll often mix leftover veg from a dinner into a white sauce and freeze - then cover with the breadcrumb mix and reheat in oven.
You can also bulk out rissoles/meatballs/meatloafs with them or mix a load with warm golden syrup and cook in a pastry case for a treacle tart. Gazpacho soup uses bread.

I mix mine with a bit of cayenne pepper and use to top macoroni cheese - yummy!

HTH a bit

Ooh, that breadcrumb bread pudding sounds interesting, Jexygirl! Might actually get my DS to eat that, while he won't eat normal bread pudding! (Would probably make it a little less rich, though.)

What's wrong with eating the crusts in the first place? Lovely stuff!
