Sweetbread can be sliced and enjoyed fresh from the package. For a delightful crunch, toast slices until lightly golden. It makes an excellent foundation for sandwiches, holding up well to various fillings. It can also be cubed and used in savory bread puddings or as croutons. For a sweet treat, it's perfect for making French toast, absorbing custardy mixtures beautifully before frying.
