Leftover Bread Patties
I always feel guilty about throwing away leftover bread. I once tried leaving it out for the birds, but my cat thought that was a good way to bait them, and then, well, poor birdies. This makes a very yummy light lunch or snack. If you have some really great bread and some really great cheese, you've got yourself a gourmet dish.
