What do you mean by "day old bread"?

I buy my bread from a store where it HAS to be more than a day old.

I buy my tortillas from a 'scratch and dent' store (I'm thinking months old).

Wow, talk about two different worlds.

That said, I do cook a mean casserole. 'Roasting' a 'butterfly' chicken is easy too.

"Day old bread" is a completely foreign concept. Maybe you were thinking of something like Strata. This recipe has since been improved upon tremendously.

Ham & Cheese Brunch Strata

1 loaf (approx. 8 oz.) French or Italian bread
½ lb Ham
1 ½ cups small broccoli florets
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded blend or Cheddar cheese, divided
6 eggs
2 Tbsp. Mustard (your choice - Dijon or other)
2 ½ cups milk
2 Tbsp. Melted butter (or margarine)


Cut bread into ¾ inch cubes.
Cut ham into ½ inch cubes.
Layer half the bread, then half the ham, all the broccoli, and 1 cup
cheese into a buttered 13in.X9in. baking dish.
Repeat layering with remaining bread, ham, and cheese - press lightly
(dish will be very full).

In a large bowl beat eggs and mustard.
Stir in milk and butter - mix well.
Pour evenly over dry ingredients.
Let stand 15 minutes or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.

Bake at 350 for 45 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and set.
Makes 8 servings.

As I look at your taste in food I see they are nothing like mine. From day old bread, to Italian cheese, to Dubai yogert, to French "macarons" (the supermarket variety "macaroon" is fine with me) you are the international something.

The crepes did sound interesting but not something I would make on my own (I believe it was the "Magic Pan" in Dallas that was so good, don't start me to lying - many years ago).

Good luck with your bloging experience. I am not your target audience.

Not really a recipe, but we would make "Soupe au Lait" (milk soup) with day old bread. It's easy: put day old bread chunks in a bowl, add cold milk and sugar, and enjoy. It's refreshing, simple, and healthy!
