Toasted Garlic and Basil Bread

Snack time is one of the things I look forward to in our household. Lol. Since I am not a junk food person. I always make sure to make something more palatable than the dehydrated food. Lol.

And since there’s always bread in our household the easiest to do is to have a toasted bread. So… Who said you can only have your toast in the morning? Lol. Check out some simple twist I did for some day old bread.

Ingredients:

Bread
Butter
Fresh Basil (thinly sliced)
Garlic (minced)

Method:

1. Combine garlic and basil. Rub mixture onto the bread. Set aside.

2. For those who doesn’t have an oven or toaster, you can use the stove top.

3. Place pan in a medium heat. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter. Place the bread into the pan.

4. Cook for a minute and a half, flip it and cook the other side for another minute and a half or until both sides are already toasted.

5. Place in a clean plate. You can add some cheese if you want. Serve.

Enjoy!

Sausage, Tomato and Spinach Bruschetta

Here is my own version of bruschetta for snack using the ingredients I found in our kitchen. Instead of using french bread or a ciabatta loaf, I used a day old Pan de sal (salt bread) which is a famous bread roll in the Philippines made of flour, eggs, sugar, yeast and salt. 

Ingredients:

Pan de Sal (half inch sliced)
2 Sausages (diced)
Frozen spinach (thawed, chopped)
2 medium tomatoes (diced)
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
1 clove garlic (minced)
Cheez Whiz

Method:

Topping

• In a small skillet, sauté sausage in olive oil. When sausage is almost done, add in the garlic, spinach and tomatoes.
• Remove from heat. Add salt and pepper according to taste. Set aside.

Bread

• In a clean pan, brush a little olive oil on each side of the bread
• Heat both sides of the bread until brown (not burnt). Set aside.

Place the sausage and tomato mixture on top of each warm sliced bread. Serve it with Cheez Whiz on top.

Enjoy!

Leftover No More..

One of the things I love about holiday season is having leftovers. If you’re a kind of person who doesn’t like to eat the same food twice, you better learn how to give leftovers a second chance on those taste buds. You’ll be surprised with the things you can make with them!

In my case, I don’t mind eating the same food twice or thrice but I just like re-inventing things, that’s all. lol. So, while I was reading my emails and updating my blogs I thought of making myself a midnight snack.

Seeing there’s a leftover ham and bread, I grabbed some tomatoes, olives and a whole egg (scrambled it). I saw some cheese I used for pasta and Mayo for salad on Christmas. I’mma make myself a sandwich! lol. C’mon, it doesn’t take a genius to make one. Just gather whatever you think will complement with your main ingredient.

Heat the ham, scramble the egg, slice the olives and tomato.
