Not every housewife will believe that using only bread and an egg you can prepare a delicious and satisfying breakfast. We are talking about toast with eggs. Fried bread in a special mixture is a filling, high-calorie, and most importantly delicious dish. Toasts with eggs can be made either as a dessert or as a main course. It is not necessary to use these croutons for breakfast - you can even serve them at the holiday table.
Toasts with eggs - preparing food and utensils
The huge advantage of this simple dish is that you can use “overwhelming” products that are not fresh. The bun has been in the bread bin for two days now and all that’s left to do is throw it away, but what a pity? Great, let's take her!
Are the eggs already a week old and not suitable for baking? Just right for croutons! You can also take cheese, even if its sides are weathered and yellowed, yogurt, opened canned fish - toast with eggs opens up enormous scope for the use of culinary imagination.
Recipes for toast with eggs:
Recipe 1: Toasts with eggs in creamy sauce
This dish is quite simple and can be prepared quickly – no more than 20 minutes. Serve these croutons with eggs for breakfast.
Required ingredients:
- White bread or loaf
- Butter
- Cream 100 ml
- Milk 50 ml
- 2 chicken eggs
- Vanilla
- Sugar

Recipe 2: Toasts with eggs and herring
This dish cannot be classified as a quick appetizer (although it is prepared very quickly), but rather can be put on the festive table. Toasts with eggs and herring are prepared quite simply, but they turn out tasty and unusual in taste. And another advantage of this dish is that the herring does not have to be fresh. For example, you opened preserves a few days ago and are fed up with them. So the herring lies in the refrigerator and, it would seem, the only thing left to do is throw it away... But no, let’s “save” it by preparing a simple but tasty dish!

Unsweetened croutons taste best if you cook them with Borodino, rye or bran bread. If you decide to make dessert croutons, then take a white loaf or bun.
To prepare toast with eggs, you can use one yolk - then the finished dish will have a more yellow, appetizing color.
It is best to serve the egg toast immediately after cooking, while it is still hot. If they cool down, they will have a damp taste.
If you don’t have time for complex dishes, but urgently need to prepare a hearty snack for the whole family, you should make croutons with egg and milk. This budget-friendly snack can be a great breakfast or even dessert for tea. It all depends on the ingredients chosen for it.
You can even use stale white bread for treats. These loaf croutons will also turn out very tasty and crispy. They are prepared from: 6-7 bread slices, 2 large chicken eggs, half a glass of full-fat milk, salt.
- First of all, break the eggs into a deep wide plate and lightly beat with a fork. You can immediately add salt to the mixture and, if desired, sprinkle with your favorite seasonings. A mixture of peppers or curry is perfect.
- Milk is poured into the eggs and the mixture is thoroughly beaten again.
- The loaf is cut into even slices, the thickness of each of which should not exceed 4 cm.
- Each bread slice is dipped in egg-milk mixture on both sides, and then fried in hot oil until an appetizing crust is formed.
The treat is served hot with sour cream and herbs.
With added cheese in a frying pan
The classic recipe for salty croutons can be varied by adding any hard cheese. The spicy variety of this dairy product (160 grams) is perfect. In addition to cheese, you need to use: a whole egg and yolk, 90 ml of full-fat milk, salt, a slice of butter, a whole loaf. How to cook croutons with cheese and egg in a frying pan is described below.
- The loaf is cut into even thin slices (as for sandwiches). It is better to use manufacturer-sliced white bread. This will speed up the cooking process.
- Milk is poured into a shallow wide bowl, the egg is broken and the yolk is poured out. If the bowl is narrow, it will be inconvenient to dip the bread into.
- The milk-egg mixture is salted and then lightly beaten with a fork or whisk.
- The cheese is grated on a grater with the smallest divisions.
- Slices of white bread are thoroughly dipped in milk and eggs and fried in butter until golden brown.
- While still hot, the finished loaf is generously sprinkled with cheese.
Ready-made croutons are a great addition to any soup or broth.
Recipe for making sweet croutons
If there is nothing tasty left in the house - just a stale loaf, then it can be turned into a delicious crispy dessert. Surely many people have known this sweetness since childhood.
Making croutons with sugar is very simple. To do this you will need to use: a whole loaf, 170 ml of full-fat milk (great if the housewife has homemade milk in stock), 2 selected chicken eggs, 3 large spoons of white or brown sugar.
- It is more convenient to cut a stale loaf. In addition, it will better absorb the milk-egg mixture.
- The loaf is cut into thick slices - about 1.5 cm. If desired, you can make them thinner or thicker.
- Beat eggs in a wide bowl. You can use a mixer or a special blender attachment for this.
- Add lukewarm boiled milk to the eggs. Sugar is added to the mixture last. Next, the ingredients are thoroughly beaten together again. The amount of sugar can be adjusted to your taste. It should completely dissolve in the liquid.
- Sliced bread is dipped into the resulting sweet mass of milk and eggs, after which it is fried on both sides in butter. Margarine or vegetable oil is not used for dessert.
Ready golden brown croutons are drizzled with natural liquid bee honey.
How to cook in the oven?
In order not to throw away the loaf slices left over from lunch, you can use them to make crispy croutons. If you add garlic and cheese, you will get an excellent snack for beer or an addition to hot soup. This dish will include the following ingredients: 80 g of hard cheese, 1/3 tbsp. full-fat milk, salt, 3-4 garlic cloves, 6 slices of white bread, a mixture of peppers, 1 choice egg.
- The crust is cut off from the bread, and the flesh is cut into small rectangles. They shouldn't be too thick.
- In a separate wide bowl, convenient for dipping pieces of bread, beat the egg with salt and a mixture of peppers. Not cold milk is poured into it, garlic passed through a press is added. A granular product can be used.
- Bread slices are placed in the contents of the bowl. Each of them should be thoroughly soaked in the resulting aromatic mixture.
- The slightly soggy loaf is transferred to an oiled baking sheet
- Hard cheese is grated on the finest grater. They are sprinkled with bread pieces.
- The appetizer is baked for 10-12 minutes at 150 degrees in the oven.
The croutons are served hot.
With egg, milk and herbs
This is another option for an appetizer for foamy or an addition to puree soups. By the way, such croutons will be an excellent base for sandwiches. Instead of garlic, fresh herbs will be used during their preparation. For example, 20 g each of parsley, green onions and dill. And, in addition: 12 slices of sliced loaf, 90 ml of heavy cream, 4 large chicken eggs, salt, 210 g of any hard cheese.
- Cold milk, eggs and salt are immediately combined in one bowl. The composition is whipped in any convenient way - two crossed forks, a whisk or even a mixer.
- To make the croutons more tender and tasty, you need to use butter.
- Each slice of loaf is dipped in the milk-egg mixture. It is best to let it sit in the liquid for half a minute. While the first batch of croutons is being fried, the second batch will have time to soak in the mixture.
- Bread pieces are cooked in heated butter until golden brown on both sides.
- While the loaf is fried, you need to finely chop the greens and grate the cheese on a grater with the smallest section. You can add salt to the resulting mass to taste.
- The croutons are sprinkled with cheese and herbs, and then placed in the oven or microwave for a couple of minutes.
As soon as the cheese is melted, the treat can be served.
If you like simple and quick breakfasts, then you simply must learn how to make toast with eggs and milk! I know that the recipe is not new for most of you, and you probably also prepare such croutons from bread with egg and milk, but since I prepare such croutons quite often for my little daughter, I decided to “capture for history” this recipe, on in case she herself wants to make such croutons from a loaf of bread with milk and egg when she grows up a little.
Toasts with egg and milk in a frying pan can be prepared both sweet and not sweet. I like the last option better, because these croutons can be served with a vegetable salad, and then you get a complete breakfast or even dinner.
As a child, my mother often prepared these croutons with egg and milk for the holiday table as an inexpensive snack. We coated the finished croutons with mayonnaise and garlic and placed tomato rings on top. Believe me, these were the most delicious sandwiches in the world!
So, let’s prepare croutons with egg and milk in a frying pan: a step-by-step recipe with photos at your service!
Ingredients for 1 serving:
- 4 slices of loaf
- 1 egg
- 4 tbsp. milk
- salt or sugar to taste
- refined oil for frying
How to make croutons with egg and milk:
For the recipe we need a loaf, or any other white bread, preferably stale. Cut the loaf into pieces at least 1 cm thick.
Break one egg into a plate.
And beat the egg with a whisk or fork.
Next, add milk to the egg. I usually pour the milk by eye, but for the croutons recipe I specifically measured the milk with spoons. There should not be too much milk, otherwise the finished croutons with egg and milk will turn out too wet inside, so 4 tbsp. spoons are just that.
Mix milk and egg until smooth. At this stage you need to add salt and sugar.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan to maximum, and dip each piece of loaf into the egg-milk mixture.
Immediately place the wet pieces of loaf into a heated frying pan with oil.
Fry the loaf croutons with milk and egg in a frying pan on each side until golden brown.

Bon appetit!
Good afternoon to everyone, my subscribers and blog readers! Glad to see you again! I would like to ask what you feed your family for breakfast? As always, there are many options, my beloved kids love porridge very much, I have to cook it every day. But today we are not talking about this, but about a completely simple dish called sandwiches or croutons.
I think absolutely everyone among you loves them very much and often makes them, especially when the refrigerator is empty, or when the wife has gone on a visit, and what remains is for the poor husband to make such a creation for himself. Well, it will take very little time to cook at home, literally 5 minutes and everything will be ready. The bachelor's breakfast will be ready. 😈
Interesting! As they say, live and learn. I just recently learned that there are very, very many ways to prepare this masterpiece. There are such types as French, English, Oriental, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, curd and even a Bavarian version called “Poor Knight”.
Perhaps someone makes these for the festive table and feast, if you decorate it very harmoniously, it will be an excellent appetizer for the celebration.
What are they? Share your impressions of what you are doing, if it’s not difficult for you. 😛 I’ll tell you a secret, I really love frying such creations so that they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, but I only get these from fresh bread or a bar. If you like to eat these without crunch, then be sure to dip the bread in milk or water, with this combination they will always be soft.
The most popular and easiest, one of the best and everyday options is, of course, a fried egg sandwich. How to cook it?
I want to show you one trick, you can make not four pieces of croutons from four pieces of loaf, but eight, I wonder how? Everything is really simple, really. Watch and follow these step-by-step steps after me.
We will need:
- sliced white loaf - 4 pieces
- hard cheese - 70 g
- chicken egg – 4 pcs.
- salt - to taste
- milk - 60 ml
- vegetable oil - for frying
- dried onions - 0.5 tsp
- mixture of dried herbs and carrots - 0.5 tbsp
Cooking method:
1. You need to take the required amount of loaf, preferably white. Using a sharp knife, carefully remove the core around the perimeter, leaving only the sides.
2. It looks funny and funny, someone made holes like these. My eldest child ran up to me and when he saw me, he said that I was making zeroes. 😛
3. So, place these “zeros” in the frying pan. Add a spoonful of refined vegetable oil to it, heat it, and fry our “toes” on both sides until a beautiful golden crust.
Important! What is the best oil for frying? Either vegetable or olive, there are opinions that it is better to fry with butter, but how do you do it?
4. After you have turned it over to the second side and the second surface is slightly fried, pour the chicken egg into the hole. Cover with a lid and wait one minute.
5. Then take and crumble grated cheese on top, preferably hard cheese. Plus your favorite herbs and spices. Add some salt and pepper.
6. Fry until cooked, you can leave the egg soft-boiled, or you can hold it a little longer to make it hard-boiled. It’s up to you to decide, my husband personally doesn’t eat the liquid version at all, he’s afraid of getting salmonellosis.
Agree, it took 5 minutes to do everything, if not less, and not be distracted anywhere. A delicious and beautiful breakfast is ready! Fried in eggs look great. Ask for the table, serve with tea or coffee.
And now step No. 2, what to do with the other pieces, that is, the centers that we have left, don’t throw them away, you can simply dry them, cutting them finely into cubes for Caesar salad, for soup or another portion of croutons with a cheese crust.
By the way, all the best is only here:
We will need:
- egg - 1 pc.
- milk - 1 tbsp.
- salt to taste
- spices and dried vegetables - to taste
- cheese - 100 g
Cooking method:
1. Add milk and egg to a clean bowl, beat with a fork, add all the spices and herbs there. Add some salt. Grate the cheese and mix everything well.
2. Now, using a fork, carefully dip the piece into the aromatic spicy mixture.
3. Fry on both sides until cooked in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil.
4. This is such an easy yum! Delight and delight! Fried deliciousness with cheese, ooh! 🙂
Important! Sometimes the problem arises, why did they turn out fat? So, when frying, you need to use very little oil, and also find the golden mean of fire. You need to fry over medium heat or bake in the oven.
What to do and why do croutons stick to the pan? The pan should have a good coating, and in any case it should be lubricated with vegetable oil.
It’s better to eat it hot; you can eat it cold, too, but it’s a little different.
