Notes
- Tips
- Don’t throw the bread crusts away. Use them to make croutons!
- Be sure to very generously spray the muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- To make the bread baskets use a heavy rolling pin to roll the bread lengthwise. Take the two longest ends of the flattened bread and pinch them together. Then, gently slide the bread into the muffin cup.
- Feel free to add garnish or toppings! Or, make it spicy with a dash of hot sauce!
