I hate wasting things! When we have leftovers, we use them in different forms not to waste. When there are millions of people around the world who can’t find enough food or even who die of hunger, I think it’s so cruel to throw food away! Noone can easily treat leftovers as rubbish when they remember that there are millions of children who go to bed hungry every night. To make people more aware and conscious, I fell more public campaigns must be held on this issue. We should never forget that not everyone living in the world is as lucky as we are, there are other people who are really in bad conditions and trying to survive. They might be thousands of kilometers away from us, but this can’t hide the reality! We can’t ignore them just because we don’t see them!

We often have leftover bread as we can’t finish a loaf in a few days. When there are a few slices left, I change their form to make them more attractive and edible. So we eat the whole bread before it goes bad.

These leftover bread and cheese patties are one of our favorite breakfast foods. Yusuf loves these so much that he asks why we have to wait for leftover bread to make these! They are never enough!

These can be served at breakfast or as appetizers. I’m sure they go very well with beer too as they are so appetizing just like our cigarette borek, which are served with beer at pubs.

Do you have leftover bread? Try these crispy outside, soft inside patties!

What do you make with leftover bread? I'd be glad to hear your recipe! Please feel free to share it in comments section!

      Hi Liz, the cheese that is easy to crumble works the best. You can use a combination of cheddar and feta.

      I’ve gone ahead to put these patties in the oven, at 180C for 20 min. They turned out great!

    I make this recipe fairly regularly now - it's like a fancy little grilled cheese and we love it with a bed of spinach and some hummus! Would definitely recommend.

    This was good, and so easy that when my husband polished off the last one & asked if there was more, I had no problem offering to make another batch. I used old hamburger buns (whole wheat) and was worried the patties wouldn’t be too good b/c that’s not exactly the nicest bread, but they worked fine!

    Theses little patties are delicious. I shredded mozzarella as my cheese as that is what I had on hand. I make my own bread so this recipe will be used often with the ends that no one seems to eat in my house. A very nice change from using the ends for bread crumbs and toast. I'm making these again tomorrow as I have more bread to use. Thank you, Zerrin!
