Hello, dear reader. Most of you eat bread, and as a rule, there is some leftover bread. Or there is leftover sliced bread after the holidays. And then the question arises of what to do with it. Anyone who has a household has no problems with this. I gave it to the animals, and everything was in order. And those who don’t have a farm, what should they do? It’s just that since childhood, I was taught that bread should not be thrown away. And now we don’t eat much bread.

In general, if you have half a loaf left, then you can already think about how to fry sweet croutons from the loaf with egg and milk. If you are not familiar with this yet dessert dish, then I’ll tell you how to prepare it.

How to fry sweet croutons from a loaf with egg and milk

For this we need:

loaf or white bread (ours is 315 grams)
milk 150 ml.
2 home chicken eggs
sugar - 3 tablespoons

It is advisable to take bread that is not fresh. It then cuts better and will better absorb the milk and egg. We had leftover loaves weighing 315 grams, which were stored in the refrigerator. We didn’t cut the edges, our children just love the edges, and have called them “rocking chairs” since kindergarten, because of their rounded shape.

I just wanted to make sweet croutons for a long time, especially since children love them. Cut the loaf into even pieces about 1.5 cm thick. Of course, you can make it thinner, but then, if you soak it thoroughly in a mixture of milk and egg, it may break. And you can't make beautiful croutons.

Now we prepare our milk, in which we will soak the loaf. For clarity, I took a kitchen scale. Less than a month has passed since we bought them in China. So they came, and now they are good helpers in our kitchen. First, beat in two homemade chicken eggs. To do this, it is advisable to take a wider bowl to make it more convenient to soak the loaf.

As you can see in the photo, the eggs weigh 108 grams. Add boiled milk, in an amount of about 150 grams, we got a little more. We also have country milk, we love everything homemade. And our last ingredient is sugar. We add three tablespoons of it, it turns out 86 grams.

Don't be afraid if you think it will be sweet. The results are very tasty croutons. We need to mix it all up. But we will mix it with a fork, and only with our hands. We don't need to beat eggs like we would for a cake. Calmly break the eggs with a fork until the sugar is completely dissolved; it took me about 3 minutes.

When you have beaten the eggs and milk, add the sliced bread. Place the frying pan on the stove to heat up. We will fry only in butter, in as a last resort maybe on margarine. Such croutons cannot be fried in vegetable oil; it will ruin the entire dessert.

The bread should sit in the milk for at least one minute. You should dip it in milk on both sides. Then put it on a heated frying pan. It’s better to fry over low heat, so they’ll cook better and won’t burn. We fried one side of the crouton for about 2 - 3 minutes, then turned it over.

As you can see in the photo, while the croutons are frying, we soak the rest of the loaf. And if you think we took a lot of milk, then pay attention to the photo at the top right. All the milk was absorbed into our loaf. True, while the first batch of sweet croutons was being fried, I moved the bottom crouton in the bowl up, and so on until all the croutons had been soaked in sweet milk twice, for uniform soaking.

If this is not done, the top croutons will be dry, and the bottom ones will disintegrate from moisture. On the next batch of croutons we put butter again, since even if you put more butter the first time, the bread will absorb it.

And here is our dinner for the children. They were very happy when they learned that dad would make sweet croutons. What do I like about this dessert, and I think this delicious dessert, is that all the ingredients are available. I think milk can be found in every refrigerator, as well as butter and sugar. And where would we be without eggs, everyone has them.

But as I wrote before, our children love white bread. Sometimes we take one loaf, and we can eat it for 3-4 days, or even more. Our children only love fresh bread, that's why the loaf remains. And this is a great opportunity to fry some sweet croutons. And now you know perfectly well how to fry sweet croutons from a loaf with egg and milk. After all, this recipe is not just step-by-step, it also has photographs, and even a clear example of the amount of ingredients.

What kind of croutons do you like to cook?

According to the classical (and quite ancient recipe), croutons are a completely unpretentious dish, prepared from “half-eaten” supplies. It could be stale bread, a piece of dried cheese, salt, sour milk, sometimes tomatoes and a bit of smoked meat.

However, today the recipe for croutons has acquired a fairly specific form, although, as before, it involves the use of products from those lying around in the kitchen.

Classic recipe

When mastering a particular dish, you always need to follow the classic (basic) recipe, and only after practicing it several times, start experimenting.

Loaf slices (can be replaced with white bread) - 8 pcs.;
Vegetable oil (in which the croutons will be fried) - 3 tbsp;
Chicken eggs – 2 pcs.;
Milk (fat content 3.5%) - 1 glass (200-250 ml);
Salt and sugar - at your discretion.

Calorie content (per 100 g): approximately 235 kcal.

Prepare loaf croutons with egg and milk step by step. First of all, you need to put a frying pan on low heat, greased from the inside with oil, so that it has time to warm up while preparing the bread.

Next, you can use a sliced loaf or bread for toast, or you can cut the loaf yourself. In this case, the thickness of one slice is taken into account: thin ones will dry better and be crispy, while thick ones will retain a soft layer between the fried sides.

When the bread is sliced, you should choose a container in which it would be convenient to dip the bread pieces. Eggs are driven into this container, and then beaten with a mixer, whisk or fork until smooth.

After, without stopping stirring the egg mixture a little, pour milk into the container, and add salt or sweeten it to your taste.

The bread slice is thoroughly soaked in the prepared mixture, that is, it must be completely immersed in it. Excessively stale or thick pieces should be kept in the container for about 20 seconds. In other cases, 5 seconds will be enough.

The processed slices of bread are carefully laid out on an already heated frying pan. Of course, you won’t be able to put everything out at once, so it’s better to dip not all the pieces at once, but as needed.

The slices are fried for 2-3 minutes each, on both sides. A golden brown crust should appear on both sides.

To lay out the first ready-made croutons, you will need a plate lined with paper napkins. They absorb oil well and remove excess fat from the dish.
