You make this with the leftovers from your Christmas dinner
An annual recurring thing is my mother's fridge filled to the brim when the whole puppet show is over. How it happens, I don't know, but even after two days of food fest, the fridge remains overcrowded. I like to hang out for another day in the south for a leftover afterparty. The leftover casserole has since been named 'Van Gansewinkel' (that garbage truck, yes) and so an extra brioche bread is always bought so that there is definitely a fridge bread pudding on the table. You don't have to go to the supermarket for now, but do you have no idea what to do with all those Christmas leftovers? With these dishes, you can hold on to the Christmas feeling a little longer, and they are also quick to prepare. of Christmas stollen.
