Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 2: Heat the butter or olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat until melted and sizzling.

Step 3: Dip each slice of stale bread quickly into the egg mixture on both sides, allowing it to absorb the liquid without becoming soggy.

Step 4: Place the soaked bread slices into the hot pan in a single layer.

Step 5: Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.

Step 6: Transfer the golden slices to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Serve hot immediately.

Chef's Closing Tip

Using slightly stale bread works best because it absorbs just enough of the egg mixture to create a crispy exterior while remaining soft and fluffy inside
