Leftovers veggie steaks

“What would you like for dinner?” How many times have you asked that question without receiving an answer? Sometimes you just lack inspiration. Then you check your fridge or food storage and there is not much left in there either. Here is an idea of quick what-ever-you-have-left veggie steaks that you can test and adapt.

You can replace courgette with cauliflower, for example, or use some other kind of cheese, or some other kind of flakes, buckwheat if you want it gluten free…
