What can I do with a 2-day old stale baguette?

[flamingnora]

.. that does not involve throwing it away?!

bread crumbs, or croutons?

throw it away !

birds

will go for the breadcrumb options I think - will need them for Xmas stuffing! What a fun night I am going to have...

Cut in hald, sprinkle with a few drops of water on each half and pop in microwave for about 10 secs. Should be nice and soft again. Birds if not.

bread and butter pudding?

If its still edible I would make baguette pizzas

French toast ( we call the "Croute dorees" in Switzerland, it sounds so much nicer)

Cheese fondue

breadcrumbs and freeze them. keep brilliantly.

Garlic bread

Bread and butter pudding?

Or you could try wrapping it in foil and warming it in the oven, that will freshen it up a bit.

breadcrumbs

then mix in garlic + salt + parsley+ butter and use as topping for bakes.

Makes the simplest macaroni/cheese more glamorous.
