Dish to use up all the bits in the fridge

Savoury bread pudding aka strata aka spouse-saver.
Make cubes of whatever bread, buns, etc. you have. Sauté, steam whatever veggies are languishing in the fridge, or use leftover cooked veggies. Add herbs, spices, seasonings to your taste. If you want to add pieces of ham, bacon, sausage, smoked tofu, etc. Mix all together and put in a greased size-appropriate pan. Pour a mixture of beaten egg/milk (cream) over top. You should be able to see the liquid along the edges of the pan, but the ingredients should not be swimming. Let it sit for a few hours/overnight in the fridge so the bread can soak up the liquid. Then top with whatever cheese is around, and maybe sprinkle on some Panko for crunch. Bake it in the oven at 350F until set and cheese is melted and golden. How long will depend on the size of your strata. Always good whatever combo I’ve used.
