Bread Boo is a tasty dish made from, as you might have guessed it already, bread. It is a savory item and is very easy to make. I have had this dish made by my mom and my MIL. Bread Boo involves minimum ingredients and I would categorize it as a quick-fix breakfast; something prepared in minutes with less effort.
It had been quite a while since I had eaten Bread Boo until when my MIL made it for me recently. And all my childhood memories came back when I had it. When I was a kid, I was not a big fan of sweetness in general. I always preferred spices and savory items (I still do!). So whenever it was bread and jam for breakfast at our home, my Mom used to prepare Bread Boo for me (my mom tries to make us eat by keeping these different kinds of names 😀 ).
For those who don’t prefer sweet dishes and for those who want variety in their breakfast, Bread Boo is an ideal choice. Also, you can substitute any type of bread in this recipe like raisin bread, wheat bread, oatmeal bread etc. Try this tasty and easy Bread Boo in your kitchen and let me know if it is a tasty breakfast indeed 🙂
