Bread Crusts: The Secret Breakfast Ritual
Growing up, my grandmother always insisted that the best part of store-bought bread was the crust. While my friends tossed theirs aside, I watched her carefully cut them off, saving every golden edge in a cloth bag. She’d toast them until they were perfectly crisp, then serve them with a pat of soft butter and a side of runny poached eggs. Mornings with her meant dipping those crunchy crusts into the yolk, sipping strong tea, and listening to her stories about making do and finding joy in the simplest things. Now, whenever I make sandwiches or burgers, I save the crusts too. It’s my little ritual—a way to connect with her and remind myself that even the overlooked bits can become something special. Next time you’re about to toss your bread crusts, try toasting them. You might just discover a new favorite breakfast, and maybe, a memory worth keeping.
