For all, toasts are known as slices of loaf dipped in milk and egg and fried in a pan. But few know that beyond that classic recipe  There are lots of other ways to cook croutons. Croutons can be made with anything: honey, fruits, berries, cheese, dried fruits, vegetables, mushrooms, poppy seeds, sausage, ham, sprats and other products. Depending on what ingredients are used, different ways of cooking.

Most often, “complex” croutons (where several products and fillers are used) are baked in the oven. Well, the usual principle of cooking classic croutons is as follows: the egg is beaten with milk, sugar and a small amount of salt. Then the bread slices are soaked in a mixture and fried until brown crust  from two sides in the pan. Ready-made toast can be served with sour cream, butter, powdered sugarhoney or syrup.

Croutons - preparing food and dishes

To make delicious homemade croutons, you need to prepare a bowl for whipping the milk mass, a whisk and a frying pan. In some recipes, toasts are baked in the oven, so a baking sheet may be required.

If you use a whole loaf, it should be cut into neat even slices. They should not be too thick or thin. The pan needs to be preheated with butter, and if the toasts are baked in the oven, the oven should be properly heated.

Recipes toasts:

Recipe 1: Croutons

When it comes to croutons, the first thing I remember are the very slices of loaf, soaked in milk and roasted in a pan. This recipe describes exactly this way of cooking classic croutons.

Ingredients Required:

  • A few slices of loaf;
  • Milk - by eye (so that the mixture is enough for soaking);
  • Egg;
  • Sugar - to taste;
  • Butter.

Cooking method:

We mix sugar in milk, then we hammer in there the egg and beat the mixture with a whisk. Optionally, a little salt can be added to the mixture. Soak the pieces of bread in the milk mixture. Melt the butter, fry in a frying pan on both sides until golden brown.

Recipe 2: Cheese Croutons

Very tasty toast for breakfast. Any bread will be used, you can even use a not quite fresh loaf. The recipe also uses sausage, which can be replaced with other ingredients if desired.

Ingredients Required:

  • Baton (ready chopped);
  • Cream Cheese;
  • Doctor sausage - 120-140 g;
  • Butter;
  • Milk.

Cooking method:

If the loaf is not cut, cut it into thin even pieces. Dip slices of bread on one side into milk. Processed cheese is pre-cooled in the refrigerator, then rub on a grater. Sausage is also grated. Mix cheese with sausage, throw a piece butter. Put the mixture in the microwave for 30 seconds so that the cheese and butter melted, and a homogeneous paste is obtained. Lubricate with a mass of pieces from the side that was dipped into milk. Put the croutons on a baking sheet and send in a preheated oven for 10 minutes.

Recipe 3: Honey Croutons

This recipe is very similar to classic way  cooking toasts, but here there are several of its nuances. Here vanillin is used for aroma, and instead of sugar, ready-made croutons are smeared with honey. Also, before frying bread rolls in bread crumbs.

Ingredients Required:

  • Bread wheat - a few slices;
  • Milk;
  • One egg;
  • Spoon breadcrumbs;
  • Some honey;
  • Salt;
  • Vanillin.

Cooking method:

Whip the milk with a whisk along with the egg, add a little salt to the mixture. Pieces of bread are wetted in milk and rolled in breading. Fry the croutons in a pan until golden brown. A little cool and lubricate liquid honey with vanilla. If desired, croutons can be sprinkled with powdered sugar.

“Yesterday's” loaf is excellent for making toasts, as it is very well cut;

The most delicious croutons are obtained by frying them with melted butter, not vegetable oil;

Do not keep pieces of bread in the dairy mass for too long, otherwise the bread will soften and turn into a "porridge";

For flavor, vanillin can be added to the mixture; some replace it with sugar. But in this case, ready-made toast should be smeared with honey or sprinkled with sugar or powdered sugar;

If the croutons are fried in butter, the cooking time increases slightly. The fire in this case must be done less;

Unsweetened croutons can be sprinkled with herbs and smeared with garlic and creamy sauce. Croutons for children can be served with jam or jam.

Good day to all, my subscribers and readers of the blog! Glad to see you again! Want to ask what you feed your family for breakfast? There are a lot of options, as always, my favorite kids love porridge very much, you have to cook it every day. But the question today is not about this, but about a completely simple dish, called butera or croutons.
