Fried Bread in Egg

A quick, easy breakfast bite! When you're short on time and ideas for a fancy breakfast, this fried bread in egg comes to the rescue. The ingredients are the kind everyone keeps in the fridge. If you don't have a soft white loaf, plain white bread works too — but a richer loaf makes it more tender and tasty. You can take it sweet, like a dessert, or savory with a little salt and ground black pepper.

Step 1:

Let's gather the ingredients for this simple dish. Any white bread works. A narrow loaf like a baguette just needs to be sliced into thin rounds no more than 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick; slices from a wide loaf are better cut into a few pieces. Slightly stale or day-old bread is fine here — fried bread for breakfast is a great way to use up what's left from lunch or dinner.
Step 2:

Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add a pinch of salt and ground black pepper to taste.
Step 3:

Beat the eggs with a fork or mixer until smooth and the salt has fully dissolved. If you'd like sweet egg-dipped toast instead, swap the black pepper for sugar to taste.
Step 4:

Pour vegetable oil into a skillet and set it over the heat. Once the oil is hot, dip the bread pieces in the egg mixture and lay them in the pan. Don't let the bread soak too long, or it will get waterlogged and won't cook through. Fry the egg-dipped bread over medium heat on one side until golden.
Step 5:

Then flip the pieces with a spatula and fry the other side until golden as well. To be sure they're cooked through, you can cover the skillet with a lid and give it another couple of minutes.
Step 6:

Take off the lid — the egg-dipped bread is ready. Transfer it to a plate and serve with tea, coffee, or cocoa. If you like, sprinkle the pieces with finely chopped fresh herbs; if you made the sweet version, serve with jam or preserves. Enjoy!
