When you have a lot of food remaining from your catering restaurant order, you likely want ways to repurpose it. Rather than letting the extra food go to waste, you can turn it into something delicious with the right recipe. Here are some fantastic meal and party food ideas for your leftovers.

3 Amazing Recipe Ideas for Your Catering Restaurant Leftovers

1. Spicy Chicken Nachos

Flavorful leftover chicken piled on tortilla chips with spicy melted cheese may be one of the tastiest game day snacks around. Chop or shred your chicken and mix it with some sliced jalapeno peppers on top of tortilla chips and melted pepper jack cheese. Serve it with sour cream, guacamole, and salsa.

1. Breakfast Sandwiches

When you have an abundance of flaky, golden biscuits remaining from your catering restaurant, save them for the next morning’s breakfast. A scrambled or sunny-side up egg topped with melted cheese inside a biscuit is the perfect way to start the day. Don’t forget to add bacon or sausage for a heartier sandwich.

2. Fried Mac & Cheese Bites

While you may not think that leftover macaroni and cheese can be made into a new dish, it can be gently fried and coated in breadcrumbs to make fried macaroni and cheese bites. Great as an appetizer or a fun party snack, these cheesy bites take a delicious leftover and make it into a crispy finger food. You can serve them with ranch dressing or sriracha sauce for a spicy accompaniment.
