Bread Dumpling Recipe

These bread dumplings turn leftover bread into golden, cheesy bites that are comforting and filling. Instead of tossing out old bread, re-use it by mixing breadcrumbs with ricotta, parmesan, and garlic to create soft dumplings. Once baked and topped with crispy bacon and melted cheese, they make a satisfying meal or side dish. The addition of sour cream and fresh chives proves that yesterday’s bread can easily become today’s dinner.
