This recipe was not planned for me and I prepared it purely spontaneously today. The thing is that a few days ago I bought a loaf, but no one ate it. For some reason, no one wanted their favorite sausage and cheese sandwiches. And I felt very sorry for something to wait for it to become covered with mold and then throw it into the trash can. And I decided to make sweet croutons from white bread with milk and egg in a pan and so on step by step recipe with photo. This one is completely simple and affordable way I don’t even remember where I found it, but he often helps me out.

The first time I ate similar croutons when I was still little and we kindergarten gave them for dinner. For some reason I didn’t like them so much in my childhood that even as an adult I didn’t cook them for a long time. But once my godfather shared a recipe for how she prepares croutons and then I for a long time did the same. But this method was not at all convenient and there was too much smoke and smell from it around the apartment.

I first soaked pieces of white bread in milk, and then dipped them in sugar and fried. While the croutons were roasting, the sugar burned and gave off an unpleasant smoke and smell. Yes, the croutons were very tasty, but the smoke did not bring joy. And then somewhere I found out a recipe that I will tell you today. And now I use it all the time, because I like the taste of toasts (they turn out to be soft) and not unpleasant odor and smoke. On the contrary, the smell is also pleasant.

How to make sweet croutons from a loaf in a pan

Products

• Baton - 1 pc.
• Eggs - 2 pcs.
• Milk 2-2.5 cups
• Sugar - 2-3 tbsp.

Step-by-step recipe for making sweet croutons

For toasts, I try to buy a sliced \u200b\u200bloaf. Despite the fact that my husband and I have disagreements on this matter and he buys the loaf as a whole. Well, when I go to the store I buy a cut one and we often quarrel about it. Here it is convenient for me to use just such a loaf.

If you, like my husband, buy a whole loaf, then you need to cut it first.

Now let's prepare the milk filling.

Break the eggs into a deep bowl, add sugar and stir with a whisk (with a fork, spoon, mixer, in general, whatever is convenient for you). For sugar, add it to your liking. If you like sweeter croutons, then feel free to pour 4 tbsp. Well, if less sweet, then add less sugar.

Next, pour milk into the eggs and stir everything thoroughly too.

Now, completely immerse the loaf pieces in the milk mass and soak for about 30-40 seconds. During this time, the pieces of the loaf will have time to absorb the liquid and not soften.

Put the pieces of loaf in a preheated pan and fry on both sides.

That's all, sweet white bread croutons are ready, now they can be served with tea, or eaten with milk. As you can see, making such croutons is not at all difficult. I really hope that you liked my recipe, and to find out if this is so, I will be glad to receive your feedback in the comments.

5 little culinary secrets

Take advantage of our tips!

1. Bread is best used stale. Insofar as fresh bread may feel soggy or not well done on the inside after cooking.
2. It is important to properly warm up the oil. And this must be done before frying, so that the mixture of eggs and milk, in which we dip the bread, does not spread over the pan.
3. Remember 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 not enough oil, they may burn.
4. The butter will make the croutons taste more tender. However, cooking it will require more than vegetable, and this will significantly increase the calorie content of the dish.
5. You can use the oven. For example, when using additional ingredients, which at the time of preparation must be placed on top of a piece of toast. Then the "hat" will not fall apart, and the bread will be well fried.

The classic recipe we inherited from brave knights is completely unpretentious. Having practically not a penny in their souls, these people were often content with what God sent or what they could ask for in the nearest taverns. In the course were: old bread, a pinch of salt, slightly sour milk, a stale piece of cheese, tomato trimmings, a slice of smoked meat, if the innkeeper comes across too generous. A piece of bread was dipped in milk, salted well, in good times smeared with oil, 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 croutons recipe

The recipe for croutons with milk and eggs has survived to this day almost unchanged. But, the main thing is that now we can not be content with leftovers, but cook complete dish (or a snack) using the most affordable foods.

• eight slices of plain white bread or loaf;
• three tablespoons of vegetable oil (for frying);
• two medium sized eggs;
• one glass of milk, optimum 3.5% fat;
• salt, sugar to taste.

You can make croutons with egg and milk both salty and sweet, depending on your taste preferences... The cooking recipe will differ only in the amount of sugar.

1. Place a frying pan of oil on the stove so that it has time to heat up.
2. Cut the bread into thin slices for a crispier crust or thick slices if you prefer a softer layer on the inside. A pre-cut loaf or toast bread is perfect.
3. In containers with high edges and a wide bottom (so that at least one slice of bread fits freely), beat the eggs until smooth. For whipping, you can use both a mixer and a whisk, even an ordinary fork will do.
4. While stirring the eggs, pour the milk into the container, beat again until smooth.
5. If you want to get salty dish, then the resulting mixture must be salt and add a pinch of sugar there to enhance the taste. And if you prefer sweet toasted bread in egg and milk, the amount of sugar should exceed the amount of salt.
6. Place a slice of bread in the resulting mixture so that it completely disappears underneath. If a stale bread or you cut into thick layers, then hold it in the mixture for 20 seconds to soften and better impregnation... Keep thin slices for no more than 5 seconds. When the mixture becomes small, dip the bread on both sides.
7. On a hot skillet, gently place a piece of bread dipped in a mixture of milk and eggs. While it's cooking, you can prepare the next bite in the same way.
8. Toast the bread on each side until golden brown, it's about 2-3 minutes.
9. The first pieces can be put on a plate covered with paper towelto glass oil from them.

If you have any mixture left when you put the last slice of bread in the pan, you can pour it out next. Fry also - 2-3 minutes on each side.

There are no irreplaceable ingredients

Croutons from a loaf with egg and milk enjoy tremendous 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 with ... Bananas! If you plan to make a sweet dish, then this fruit is ideal for creating a thick mass in which you need to dip bread. And if you are planning a serious unsweetened breakfast, then dilute the milk with flour (a handful of less) or grated cheese (a handful of more).
• 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 mild sophisticated aroma, and sour cream will give the batter a special splendor. Moreover, the absence of this product in the dish can compensate for the extra egg.
• Frying oil is suitable for both vegetable and butter. Even if you have margarine, regular fat, or there is juice from yesterday's delicious steak in the pan, you are a kitchen wizard! And with a certain level of skill (and in the presence of good dishes), you can fry bread with eggs and milk without butter.
• No matter how strange it may seem, even bread can be replaced! For example, by pre-preparing simple crumpets from flour and water, which you subsequently dip into the mixture. But, of course, it is better to look on the shelves for a dried (but not moldy!) Brick of bread, loaf, pita bread, bun or bagels.

Remember that only the absence of all the ingredients can stop you from preparing a regular loaf in an egg and milk. But your imagination will suggest a recipe for a new unique dish!
