No need to throw it away: what you can make from stale bread

If you notice that the bread is already stale and impossible to bite, don't throw it away. It can be used to make a delicious appetizer. You need to crush the bread into crumbs.

The idea of preparing a delicious appetizer with stale bread was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Olena Zeleniak (foodstories.helen). It is served in the form of balls.

Ingredients:

• 250 g stale bread, baguette, ciabatta
• 50 g of melted butter
• 1 egg
• 1 small onion (fry a little)
• a pinch of chopped fresh rosemary
• dried cranberries
• a pinch of salt
• grated cheese can be added if desired

Method of preparation:

1. Grind the bread into crumbs in a blender. If the crust is too hard, cut it off a little.

2. Add all other ingredients and mix well.

3. Make balls by squeezing your hand tightly.

4. Put the balls on a baking sheet and bake them at 200 degrees for 20 minutes.

5. The formed balls can be refrigerated and baked before the guests arrive.
