Burnt Toast Is Your One-Way Ticket To Homemade, Customized Spices
By MICHELLE WELSCH
As surprising as it might sound, burnt toast lends itself to making customized spices that can be used to flavor main dishes and create satisfying sides.
Those dark pieces of burnt bread bring an element of smoky, crunchy deliciousness to marinades and homemade spices.
The charred taste can help offset a dish’s overpowering sweetness or can be combined with red pepper flakes to flavor eggs and meatballs made from scratch.
Bits of burnt toast deliver a unique smoky flair to dishes and can be sprinkled onto desserts like ice cream and pudding to provide an unmistakable contrast in texture and taste.
Consider adding crumbles of burnt toast to spice blends to deepen textures and bring a comforting campfire element to your favorite meal recipes.
