Sausage and Parmesan Strata
Ingredients
6 Italian pork sausages
1 red onion
1 tbsp olive oil
⅔ loaf of day old sourdough
6 eggs
400ml milk
30g grated parmesan cheese
Sea salt, to season
Method
Step 1: Cook the sausages
Pull the sausages from the casings and break up into thumb sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sausage to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring to brown on all sides.
Add the onion and cook for a further 3 minutes, stirring. Turn off the heat and allow the sausage mixture to cool.
Step 2: Prep the egg mixture
Break up the sourdough into rough, bite size pieces. Place in the base of a 2.2 Litre (2.4 Qrt) capacity baking dish.
Whisk the eggs and milk in a large bowl, until well combined. Season with salt.
Pour the egg mixture over the bread, then top with the cooled sausage mixture.
Gently fold the mixture together, then sprinkle over the parmesan.
Set the dish aside for 1 hour to soak, or overnight in the fridge.
Step 3: Bake
Preheat the oven to 180°C fan forced (355°F). Bake the strata for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crisp on top.
Spoon the strata onto serving plates and serve hot.

You could also make dumplings with spinach or smthg like that and the stale bread
Stale bread was a crucial cooking ingredient for pretty much all of human history. Since like half of most people's calories were from fresh bread, you would end up with lots left over, and it got used in just about any way you could imagine. The most common was actually using the crumbs or torn up chunks for thickening soups and sauces.
Bread and butter pudding or French toast are also good
Semmelknödel, breadsoup, meatballs…
never forget croutons
I really don't understand why every single one of these types of videos uses fucking onions! I'm an adult and if I don't want to eat "dirty feet fruit" I'm not gonna!
My mother always used to process bread with the meat grinder to make crumbs, then used those to cover slices of meat.
Number 4: Bread Pudding.
Not even french toast ?
How do i get them sausages outta them skins? 👀
you can also make some fine croutons!!
My favorite thing to do with stale bread is make Semmelknödel (bread dumplings)
Y'all be throwing out when bread is stale?
My family been only throwing out when you see or smell mold :'
Great ideas, thanks
By far the best thing in my opinion is Speckknödel. It‘s stale bread, bacon, onion, parsley, milk and eggs formed into balls, boiled in saltwater and then you add it to a clear soup.
Or like croutons works too guys
Two words: Om Ali! Give it a try, it has everything: pistachios, cashews, milk, cream, vanilla, warmth, sweetness!!!
Does that work with GREEN bread 😂
you forgot budin!!!
Bread pudding
I'll never understand why anyone would ever desausage a sausage. Like at that rate just make your own meat mix
Tip 4. Cut, freeze and pull out for Sunday French Toast.
BUDÍN DE PAN FOR THE WIN
OR make some bread pudding
Nah. Microwave for 30 seconds, cut thin slices, bake in the oven for a few minutes, fresh crispy toast
Dude I thought I was subbed to you like damn you my favorite chef felon XD
what is this thing called STALE bread a loaf has gone before stal after being stored in freezer until requiired
As a Spaniard, stale bread is the best.
Good good
Brother doesnt want to try the danish way to eat stale bread “øllebrød”
Idk I would probably just eat it like that.
Nothing better than just chowing down on plain bread.
Your recipes are also cool tho. 😀
We want to see popara brother! 😁
You can also make "wentelteefjes"
In Poland we use those old meat mincers (before they sold minced meat in shops) to turn it into fine breadcrumbs, which we use to make schabowy (same thing as schnitzel).
Or add milk and egg to white bread pieces, some sugar and cinnamon, too. And to the oven till it has nice golden brown on top and soft inside. Add some sugar on top of it and serve as it is or with ice cream.
knödel are good too
You can do kofte with breadcrumbs too just mix it with some species and ground beef shape them and fry
In Germany we reuse our bread in a dish called Klöße. It’s delicious.
Øllebrød ! 🎉
Check out açorda, the best way to use bread. There are several versions, depending in what yiu add to it, from pork belly, through aspargos, to pork belly. Gralic, olive oil and coriander are essencial in all if them
Y'all gotta try bundáskenyér. It's like french toast but savoury. Whisk egg, milk, salt, and whatever spices you want. Cook it like french toast, then grate cheese on top while still hot.
#4, croutons
Nice recipes! In the Netherlands we make wentelteefjes with stale bread, a nice sweet treat!
these days andy 4m in the oven costs more power than a new loaf 😉
Wo sind die Semmelknödel?
Who else thinks of hardtack now whenever they hear stale bread hit together?
I prefer to put it in for 6-8 minutes at around 100°C to "revive" it. But I guess a lot of combinations work.
German bread dumplings are my favourite
