Baked goods garnish Recipe

International · Condiment · 15 min total

A versatile, crunchy garnish made from leftover baked goods, perfect for adding texture to desserts or savory dishes.

Ingredients

• 2 cups stale bread, croissants, or pastry scraps, torn into small pieces
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (optional, for sweet garnish)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using sweet garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for sweet garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, toss the torn baked goods with melted butter until evenly coated.
3. For sweet garnish, mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over the buttered pieces and toss. For savory, sprinkle with salt.
4. Spread the pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crisp.
6. Let cool completely on the baking sheet; the garnish will crisp further as it cools.

Tips

• Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
• Use as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, salads, or soups.
• For extra flavor, add herbs like rosemary or thyme for savory versions.
