Leftover Savory Bread
I hate throwing away leftovers. Usually I use all leftovers in frittata, omelet, to stuffed crepes…. I had some brocoli, Tuna, Tomatoes left in the fridge from the kids lunch.
After talking to Sophie my Yoga Teacher and friend, she said she will make some ” savory cake” for super served with salad. I thought it will be a great idea to do the same with my leftovers….
