    Dip them in beaten egg until well coated then fry. YUMMY! Also fab with left over cheese sarnies.

    Sorry to repeat the same answer, but definetly dip them in egg then fry (i call it french toast)

    or even use them to make toasties,with a cheese filling as it doesnt really matter if the bread is a tad stale

    Cut into croutons? Lovely in a bowl of soup!

    Cold toast - slice it in half, turn toasted sides towards one another, pop it back in the toaster - viola, Melba Toast!

    I have some left over cooked chicken from Friday. It has been in the fridge. Do you think it will be ok to use and if so any ideas? I was thinking some kind of chicken cottage pie with a mash topping. Does anyone have a recipe. Thanx

    Thanks ladies, I don't usually do melba toast but why didn't I think of croutons, I suppose I could freeze it in little bags too, how daft of me. Any other ideas?


    Julie I usually try not to go over 48 hours but what I'd say is get it out, leave it for about 10 minutes and sniff, if it stinks bin it if it smells ok taste it and if it's ok I would use it

    This was yummy when I made it (just used veg I had in not Waitrose as we don't have one here)
