Leftover Burger-Bun French Toast
I HATE to waste food, especially due to spoilage. I think it angers my organized, planner side. You know, like I didn't plan out with enough consideration? Anyway, after a BBQ recently, we had quite a few burger buns left over. We had some in the morning with egg and cheese sandwiches, but there were still a few left the next day. Since they had very simple ingredients, they weren't going to last much longer. Jemma was requesting french toast, so I improvised.
I mixed up a custard of coconut milk (still keeping the baby and I off dairy in hopes of keeping her reflux at bay), eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon. Then, I saturated the buns and threw them on the griddle. One flip later, they were ready to eat!
Custard...yum!! |
Ready to flip |
I had mine into a little sandwich... yum!! If I do this again, I think I'll have to do a maple butter spread of some sort to stick the strawberries to it.
What is your favorite way to use up leftovers?
Leftover buns make the best hot ham and cheese sandwiches :)
ReplyDeleteRecently I made a casserole type dish with so many random fridge findings. I wish I could remember what was in it because it was fabulous but I can't!
I usually eat most of the random things that nobody else wants. Sometimes I feel like a garbage can!
