Use The Crusts As Bread Crumbs [Cooking Tip]
For some mysterious reason, most children will not eat a sandwich unless the crusts have been cut off. Today’s tip: use the crusts as bread crumbs when you are cooking.
This morning, like most mornings, I made lunch for my son. Currently, he will eat a bologna sandwich, on wheat, with the crusts removed. I was about to toss the crusts in the trash when I realized that they would make good homemade bread crumbs.
Here’s what you do:
– Break the crusts apart into smaller pieces.
– Put into a mortar and pestle. If you don’t have a mortar and pestle, use a bowl. Then go buy a mortar and pestle because they are inexpensive, useful and, in their own way, awesome.
– Add spices. I used herbs du provence, truffle salt, and pepper.
– Smoosh it up until it looks like the bread crumbs you get from the can, only without the additives (or the can).
Bingo! You have homemade bread crumbs. I put mine on some roasted carrots that were in this week’s farm share box. What do you put bread crumbs on?
