Clever Ways To Make Use Of That Leftover Cornbread
BY ALICIA ERICKSON
Croutons
Cornbread croutons only require a few simple ingredients. Cube your leftover cornbread, drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle with sea salt, and bake in a 350 F oven.
French Toast
Cut the cornbread into one-inch slices and dip into your usual French toast mixture. You may want to keep it simple with the classic egg, milk, and cinnamon blend.
Cornbread Stuffing
Take your leftover cornbread and crumble it. Chop and cook celery and shallots, season the crumbles, and add in the cooked veggies.
Fruit Crisp
Instead of the typical topping of oats, brown sugar, flour, and butter, use your leftover cornbread, which has already started to become dry and crumbly.
Casserole
Cube or crumble the cornbread and mix it into your favorite casserole recipe. Diced vegetables like corn, tomatoes, and bell peppers pair well with the flavors of corn.
