• Insider asked chefs to share different ways leftover Champagne or sparkling wine can be incorporated into food.
• They suggested a variety of dishes, including Champagne-roasted chicken and Champagne-based hollandaise sauce for eggs Benedict.
• The chefs noted that although Champagne or sparkling wine can become flat between three and five days after being opened, there are tons of ways to use the flat wine in meals.
• "It may not give you the same flavor that you're looking for in a good drinking wine, but in cooking, it still has so much value," chef Adrienne Cheatham, founder of SundayBest Pop-Up series, told Insider.

After New Year's Eve, most people toss out their half-finished Champagne and sparkling wine bottles, but chefs say that could be a waste.

"I'm like, 'Why would you throw it out?' Just save it and use it just like you would deglaze a pan or you would make a reduction and whisk butter in," chef Adrienne Cheatham, founder of the pop-up dinner series SundayBest, told Insider.

"Now that it's just flat wine, it may not be good for drinking. It may not give you the same flavor that you're looking for in a good drinking wine, but in cooking, it still has so much value," she said.

Insider spoke with Cheatham and other chefs to learn seven delicious ways to add bubbly into breakfast, dinner, and dessert dishes using the Champagne and sparkling wine you may have sitting in your fridge after New Year's Eve or other celebrations.
