Croutons with egg without milk

A loaf, you can use not fresh, but already dried, which you will not want to eat just like that. Cut the loaf into even, identical pieces. In a deep dish, break the eggs, add salt and ground pepper. If desired, at this stage, you can diversify the dish with your favorite spices or dry herbs. They can complement and diversify the taste of the finished dish.

Stir the eggs with a fork. It is not necessary to put too much effort and beat the mixture. It is enough that the yolks and whites are simply evenly connected to each other. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the frying pan and put it on the fire to warm up. As soon as the required temperature is reached, dip a piece of bread in the egg mixture and put it in the pan.

It is not necessary to dip all the slices of bread in advance, in this case they may get wet and the croutons will not turn out. With a quick movement, we lower one piece into the batter, turn it over with the other side and immediately put it in the pan. Repeat the procedure with as many slices of the loaf as will fit in the pan at a time, while we leave the rest. Fry the croutons on one side until a pleasant golden color, turn over and fry on the other. We spread the finished croutons on a paper towel to get rid of excess fat after frying. Fry the rest of the bread with egg.

The croutons are ready, it's better to serve them hot as a completely independent dish or with some kind of supplement (you can diversify with cheese, ham or fresh vegetables). In cold form, the croutons will no longer be so soft, but they are still quite suitable for a sudden snack or as an addition to the main dishes during lunch.

Bon appetit!
