Step 1: prepare the loaf.

So, for starters, we take a white loaf, maybe not the first freshness, put it on a cutting board and cut across slices a little less than one centimeter thick with a sharp kitchen knife, although this is a matter of taste, it can be thicker.

Step 2: prepare the milk-egg mixture.

Then, with the back of a knife, we stuff each chicken egg and throw off the whites with yolks in a small bowl. Pour the right amount of whole pasteurized milk there, add a little salt and shake these products with a table fork or whisk until light splendor. We are not very zealous, we devote no more than 2 minutes to this process, after that we put the rest of the products that will be needed to prepare the dish on the countertop, and proceed to the next, almost final step.

Step 3: Prepare egg croutons.

We put a large, preferably non-stick frying pan over medium heat and pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into it. While it is warming up, we dip the loaf slices in turn in the previously prepared egg-milk mixture and literally after a few minutes we very carefully put them in hot fat.

Cook the croutons on both sides for about 1.5-2 minutes until golden-beige-brown. As soon as they are browned, with the help of a kitchen spatula we transfer them to a paper kitchen towel, previously spread on the countertop, and leave it there for a while to absorb excess fat.

We don’t waste a minute, fry the rest in the same way until the food runs out, periodically adding vegetable oil to the pan as needed. Then we shift the charming slices to a large flat dish and go to taste!

Step 4: Serve the croutons with the egg.

Egg croutons are served hot, warm and even cold as an independent light second course or as a very satisfying addition to any other dishes.

If desired, any spices can be added to the egg-milk mixture, for example, all types of ground pepper, dried hyssop, parsley, lemon balm, celery, fennel, garlic granules and many other spices;

To make the croutons more crispy, you need to dip the loaf slices in the egg-milk mixture for just a few seconds, not very long. After that, fry over high heat and be sure to fold it not in a pile, but in one layer;
