Yfirmánuðu

Yfirmánuðu is a term originating from Icelandic, where it refers to a specific type of traditional Icelandic dish. The term translates to "overcooked" or "overdone," reflecting the dish's preparation method. Yfirmánuðu is typically made from leftover or stale bread, which is cut into small cubes and then boiled in a pot of water. The bread is then drained and mixed with various ingredients, such as butter, milk, eggs, and sometimes cheese or herbs, to create a creamy, savory sauce. This sauce is then poured over the bread cubes, which are then boiled again to ensure they are fully cooked and the flavors are well incorporated. The dish is often served as a side dish or a light meal, and it is particularly popular in Icelandic cuisine for its simplicity and the use of leftover ingredients.
