5 little culinary secrets
Take advantage of our tips!
- Bread is best used stale. Since fresh bread after cooking may seem raw or underdone inside.
- It is important to warm up the oil properly. And you need to do this before frying, so that the mixture of eggs and milk, in which we dip the bread, does not spread over the pan.
- Don't forget to keep an eye on the oil in the pan. If there is too much of it, then the croutons will turn out to be greasy, and if there is a lack of oil, they can burn.
- Butter will make the croutons more tender in taste. However, to prepare it, you will need more than vegetable, and this will significantly increase the calorie content of the dish.
- You can use the oven. For example, when using additional ingredients that, at the time of preparation, must be placed on top of a piece of toast. Then the “cap” will not fall apart, and the bread will be well fried.
The classic recipe, inherited from the brave knights, is completely unpretentious. With practically no penny to their name, these people were often content with what God sent or what they managed to ask for in nearby taverns. They used: old bread, a pinch of salt, slightly sour milk, a stale piece of cheese, tomato trimmings, a slice of smoked meat, if the innkeeper came across too generous. A piece of bread was dipped in milk, well salted, in good times smeared with butter, then fried on both sides on a hot stone, and the finished toast was decorated on top with everything that remained at the bottom of the bag.
Classic toast recipe
The recipe for toast with milk and egg has survived to this day almost unchanged. But, most importantly, now we can not be content with leftovers, but cook a full meal (or snack), while using the most affordable products.
- eight slices of ordinary white bread or a loaf;
- three tablespoons of vegetable oil (for frying);
- two eggs of medium size;
- one glass of milk, optimally 3.5% fat;
- salt, sugar to taste.
You can make egg and milk croutons both salty and sweet, depending on your taste preferences. The recipe will differ only in the amount of sugar.
- Put a frying pan with oil on the stove so that it has time to heat up.
- Cut the bread into thin slices if you like a crisper crust, or thick slices if you prefer a softer layer inside. Already sliced \u200b\u200ba loaf or bread for toast is perfect.
- In a bowl with high sides and a wide bottom (so that at least one piece of bread can freely enter), beat the eggs until smooth. For whipping, you can use both a mixer and a whisk, even an ordinary fork will do.
- While stirring the eggs, pour the milk into the container, beat everything again until smooth.
- If you want to get a salty dish, then the resulting mixture must be salted and a pinch of sugar added there to enhance the taste. And if you prefer sweet fried bread in egg and milk, then the amount of sugar should exceed the amount of salt.
- Put a piece of bread in the resulting mixture so that it is completely hidden under it. If the bread is stale or you cut it in thick layers, then hold it in the mixture for 20 seconds to soften and better impregnate. Thin slices should be held for no more than 5 seconds. When the mixture becomes small, then dip the bread on both sides.
- Gently place a piece of bread dipped in a mixture of milk and eggs on a hot frying pan. While it is frying, you can prepare the next piece in the same way.
- Fry the bread on each side until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
- The first pieces can be placed on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the oil.
If you have leftover mixture when you put the last piece of bread into the pan, you can pour it out after. Fry also - 2-3 minutes on each side.
There are no irreplaceable ingredients
Long loaf croutons with egg and milk are an amazing success not only because of the simplicity of the recipe and almost instant cooking speed, but also because of the unique ability to replace any ingredient without losing the main taste! So, if your refrigerator lacks eggs and milk, and bread and butter on the shelves, then use the following tips.
- Eggs can be replaced ... Bananas! If you plan to make a sweet dish, then this fruit is ideal for creating a thick mass in which to dip the bread. And if you are planning a serious unsweetened breakfast, then dilute the milk with flour (a smaller handful) or grated cheese (a larger handful).
- Milk has a significant effect on the taste of toast. In this connection, it is useful to know how to cook croutons with an egg without milk. For example, kefir is suitable for a more tart taste or cream for a soft, sophisticated flavor, and sour cream will give the "batter" a special splendor. In addition, the absence of this product in the dish can compensate for an extra egg.
- Oil for frying is suitable for both vegetable and butter. Even if you have margarine, regular fat, or the juice from yesterday's delicious steak is left in the pan, you are a kitchen wizard! And with a certain level of dexterity (and if you have good dishes), you can fry bread with eggs and milk without oil.
- No matter how strange it may seem, but even bread can be replaced! For example, after preparing simple donuts from flour and water, which you later dip into the mixture. But, of course, it is better to look for a dried (but not moldy!) brick of bread, a long loaf, pita bread, a bun or bagels on the shelves.
Remember that only the absence of all the ingredients can stop you from making a regular loaf in an egg with milk. But your imagination will tell you the recipe for a new unique dish!

As we have already found out, the process of making a fried loaf with egg and milk does not require special skills, and the recipe does not contain any complex components. However, if you intend to wow your guests (or your stomach), then add a few unusual ingredients to the classic recipe.

- Flour will satisfy your hunger with less bread. The main thing is to make sure that the mixture of eggs, milk and flour does not turn out too thick.
- A toast sandwich can be unusual and very satisfying. To do this, after the croutons in the same oil, you can fry the sausage.

Ready-made croutons can be dipped in jam, jam or condensed milk (it doesn’t matter whether it is boiled or not), poured with caramel or any other syrup that you have on hand, smeared bread with honey or chocolate paste.
- Spices will allow you to play with taste. Ground cinnamon and vanillin will give the toast an elusive aroma of a dessert dish, and powdered sugar will emphasize the sweetness in the upcoming tea party.
- Exquisite decoration for your table. These are croutons spread with curd cheese (or whipped cream) and topped with fresh strawberries (or other fruits of your choice).
- Croutons can be a great snack for beer or soup! To do this, you just need a little more salt, a little less milk and eggs, and, most importantly, do not forget to cut the bread into cubes before cooking.
