What dinners do you serve with bread?

[Waiting4Spring]

Other than soup, what meals go with a slab of fresh bread? Keen to use up a nice loaf before it goes stale.

Rotisserie chicken and salad

I should not have opened this thread, it's making me hungry...

Salads (if a little out of season)
You could also make breadcrumbs and maybe meatballs or steamed pudding or bread and butter budding.

Only stew, soup and all day breakfast. Scrambled eggs. I'm not a huge fan of bread...

If it’s unsliced then bunnychow!

Well it depends. Medium sliced - an omelette. You could spread with garlic butter and pop on an oiled baking tray to crisp up a bit. Especially nice if you use cookie cutters. Doubles up then as an accompaniment to spag bol, chilli, etc

Ordinary sliced and buttered also with cold meat, cheese, salad, etc.

A crusty loaf livens up terrifically if you hold it under a tap briefly and bung in a hot oven for just sub 10 minutes.

Or turn it into breadcrumbs and bung in the freezer for wiener schnitzel, bread sauce, macaroni toppings, etc.

Not often that I have bread with a meal although it reminds me of the 80's where we seemed to have white bread and butter with everything!

Goulash with a crispy white baguette

Oo somebody mentioned salad as being out of season but that makes me think of some wintertime salads you could try like Waldorf salad, or Belgian endives with blue cheese and pomegranate, or spinach and orange salad.

Mince and tatties

Roast vegetables
Stew of any description
Sausage and bean casserole
Soup

There’s far better suggestions on here but I like to make eggy bread (French toast? Or is that just the fried one?) from old crusty bread.

I would probably have to grate cheese on top and grill it. After which point it would be suitable to accompany all dishes

Oh ratatouille I'd forgotten that! Love that with a chunk of crusty bread.

Anything that hasn't already got a carb with it.

I've never served a (main course) dinner with bread but it's nice with a stew; my mum used to make a beautiful lamb stew and we would have some bread with that. You could make it into garlic bread if you are having a pasta meal or chili, only takes a jiffy in the oven.

It's a few hours until dinner time, why not just use it for lunch or tea? Welsh rarebit is lovely or even a sandwich. I'm assuming you are at home, obviously if you are at work it's a different matter.

Soup, Stew, Casserole, Beef Bourguignon, ratatouille, lamb tagine, fish and chips, all day breakfast, scrambled eggs on toast, beans on toast, creamed mushrooms on toast, use it instead of a bun for burgers/hot dogs/fishfinger sandwich, croque monsieur/madame, serve bread/toast with pate or baked camembert, eggy bread, french toast.

Sandwiches can be made into a full meal with a suitable filling and sides, something like you'd get in a pub at lunchtime.

Alternatively you could make bread and butter pudding - yum!

Leftovers can be turned into breadcrumbs, croutons, bread sauce etc.

I've made a delicious fish stew (firm white fish, mussels, chorizo, gigantes or butterbeans) that cries out for a very good baguette. And a lot of white wine.

Potato hash with tiger bread.. yum

Erm, all ? Except maybe burgers in buns, and perhaps pizza.

Gratin would be nice.

Macaroni cheese

Omelette, salad and crusty bread.
DH did a wonderful stew with crusty bread the other day.
Any main course salad like Caesar or Greek or Nicoise

To use up a nice loaf I make my own take on bruschetta !

Add some olive oil, vinegar, salt, garlic & black pepper in a bowl
Chop up some tomatoes and add them in the bowl and mix well
Spread some pesto on your bread and top with the mixed chopped tomatoes
Throw in oven for about 8 minutes

Sometimes I add grated cheese

I usually serve with lasagne or pasta dish or sometimes on its own for a lunch time snack

Salad! Use it to mop up the olive oil and balsamic.

And this....... pasta with bread! Never.
