Garlic Breadcrumbs
Sometimes the twist tie just didn’t get twisted tightly. Sometimes last night’s dinner party involved a bit too much wine and not enough bread. In any case, don’t dismiss the value of day-old bread. This artisanal treasure can be turned into a number of sweet and savory dishes that may actually (dare we say) be better than the loaf itself.
Ingredients
Day-old bread, cut into ¾-inch slicesGarlic cloves, peeled and sliced in half (You need about 1 clove for every 4 slices of bread)
Preparation
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flipping each slice halfway through baking.
• Remove from the oven and rub a clove of garlic over the toast.
• Place all of the toast in the food processor and pulse until no large pieces are visible.
• Store the cooled breadcrumbs in an airtight container.
