Sometimes the best culinary ideas happen by accident. Say you have some leftover, stale, bite-sized squares of a country loaf (which you served on New Year’s with the cheese fondue) and you are about to throw them out, when you have the brainwave to add them to a mixture of an egg or two and a dash of milk, turning them around till the liquid is all absorbed. Add a dollop of butter into a pan, and when it just starts to sizzle add the the bread pieces and fry till golden on all sides. Add a sprinkle of cinnamon and sea salt and turn in the heat for another minute before piling onto a plate and serving with a drizzle of maple syrup.
