Hello bizzylizzy :wave:
If you go to the mega index sticky thread here http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=235198 and scroll down to cooking and recipes, click on it and you will see there about 8 threads devoted to breadcrumbs - you wouldn't think it was possible would you ? :rotfl: only on OS

I bung all my breadcrumbs in a bag and shove in the freezer for when a recipe calls for them. I also cut crusts into cubes and freeze for croutons.

Thankyou, I had tried looking but obviously not in the right place! I'll have a good read and try some ideas.

Were you looking at a locked thread perhaps?

I don't think so because it was on this forum and the freebie one too - all of the posts too. Never mind, they are back so I can be polite again!

I use them for:

Treacle tart
Chicken nuggets/kievs
Stuffing
Burgers
Toppings with cheese

If you have left over mashed potato (or even make extra), it's really easy to make into potato croquettes that can then be frozen until needed.

Just form the mash into log shapes about 2 inches long and 1 inch thick, coat with beaten egg and roll in breadcrumbs until thoroughly coated. Freeze flat on a tray in the freezer, then bag up into meal sized portions, to be heated through in the oven when required. As the packet meals say, "ensure food is piping hot before serving".

I was just reading the new english kitchen by rose prince and it suggested frying breadcrumbs with garlic in olive oil and mixing with some pasta. Also any meat you want children to eat can be dusted in flour then coated with egg and finally rolled in breadcrumbs to make chicken nuggets, pork nuggets, fish nuggets etc..

There is a book called the Humble Crumb by Elizabeth Jones - every recipe contains breadcrumbs
