The holidays are all about big meals and even bigger leftovers. But don’t let all that extra food go to waste! With a little creativity (and some cured meats like our prosciutto, salame or pancetta), you can turn your leftovers into easy-to-make, tasty dishes everyone will love.
- Quick Breakfast Frittatas
Got some extra veggies and cured meats on hand? Toss them into a pan with whisked eggs and cheese, and you’ve got yourself a frittata! It’s a simple way to create a delicious breakfast or even a satisfying dinner.
- Pasta with a Twist
Take some cooked pasta and mix it with diced pancetta or prosciutto, a bit of cream or olive oil, and any leftover cheese you have on hand, and voilà—dinner is served!
- Stuffed Veggies
Got leftover roasted peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini? Stuff them with a mix of risotto, cured meats, and breadcrumbs. Pop them in the oven for a quick, bite-sized treat.
- Fancy Grilled Cheese
Turn leftover bread into something special by adding prosciutto and your favorite cheese. Grill until it’s golden and gooey, then pair it with a warm bowl of soup for the ultimate comfort meal.
- Savory Flatbreads
Spread leftover sauce or gravy over a flatbread, layer with cured meats and cheese, then bake it. Once it’s out of the oven, top with fresh greens like arugula for a quick, flavorful dish.
With these simple ideas, your holiday leftovers will never be boring. Plus, who doesn’t love an excuse to enjoy more prosciutto?
