Eggy Bread
Ingredients
Step by step process
Preparation
- 1
If using an bread loaf, cut it into 8 slices about 1.5 cm thick.
- 2
In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk until smooth. season lightly with salt and pepper.
- 3
Briefly dip each slice into the egg mixture on both sides so it soaks up, but doesn't fall apart.
Cooking
- 4
Heat butter in a pan over medium heat. it should gently sizzle, not brown.
- 5
Place the soaked slices in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Add more butter as needed.
- 6
Transfer the fried slices to a plate lined with a kitchen towel to absorb excess fat.
Serving
- 7
Serve hot, topped with chopped chives and a pickled gherkin on the side.
- 8
Enjoy immediately after frying while the crust is crispy and the center is soft.
More tips:
For a milder taste, fry in a mix of butter and a little oil. butter adds aroma, oil increases the smoke point.
If your bread is older and drier, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of milk to the egg mixture for a moist result after frying.
