[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family likes fresh bakery bread once a week--usually a baguette, but it doesn't all get eaten before it goes stale. Anyone have good recipes that use stale bread other than croutons (making those today).[/quote]

I freeze all our leftover bread and then periodically make a version of emeril’s breakfast casserole.  His is super high fat—I use low fat milk instead of half and half and use less cheese and less sausage, and add chopped garlic.  It’s one of my kids favorite dinners—they all like it and it reheats well for either breakfast or lunch.
You can also do a Brown Betty in stove or slow cooker.   Basically layer the cubed bread with chopped apples mixed with cinnamon and sugar.  Over the top pour about a cup of water mixed with half cup of melted butter (amount of water really depends on how much bread and how dry it is — you want the top wet but not falling apart).  Then cook about an hour in oven or 4 in slow cooker.  It’s good for breakfast or dessert.  [/quote]
