How to revive a few-days-old baguette: a quick trick


This is typical me—buying a fresh baguette, enjoying a few slices, and then forgetting about it for a couple of days. The result? A hard, stale baguette that doesn’t seem very appetizing. But I don’t toss it just yet! With a little creativity, it can turn it into something absolutely delicious.

One of my favorite ways to reuse an old baguette is to slice it up, drizzle it with olive oil, sprinkle on za’atar, and top it with crumbled feta cheese. Then, a quick toast in the oven, and voilà—you’ve got yourself a crispy, flavorful snack or side dish.

Ingredients:

  • Stale baguette, sliced
  • Olive oil
  • Za’atar
  • Feta cheese, crumbled

Method:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Slice the baguette into thin or thick pieces, depending on your preference.
  3. Drizzle each slice with olive oil, making sure they’re lightly coated.
  4. Sprinkle generously with za’atar. Crumble feta cheese over the top.
  5. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the bread is golden and crispy.
  6. Enjoy warm, either on its own or paired with a dip like hummus or labneh (yoghurt)


Enjoy!
