Toast is not just bread fried in butter, it is also an independent national dish in countries such as France, Germany, Italy and others. For domestic housewives, croutons are a well-known dish that often decorates the holiday table. For example, everyone’s favorite sandwiches with sprats, which are considered an indispensable attribute of the New Year’s feast, are made on the basis of croutons. Moreover, without properly prepared croutons, the taste and aroma of the final dish will be hopelessly spoiled.

It is noteworthy that different types of bread can be used to make croutons. It is also worth noting that already stale bread can be used for croutons. It is interesting that in some countries croutons are made only from slightly dried bread. It is believed that such stale bread will eventually make excellent croutons. There are two main types of croutons. There are sweet and salty croutons. Both products are actively used in cooking and not only as a basis for sandwiches or other snacks.

Salty croutons or croutons are made from different types of bread and used as a light snack, as well as an ingredient in vegetable salads, soups or broths. For example, the famous French onion soup or Caesar salad simply cannot do without salty croutons or croutons, which give the dish a complete taste and a delicious aroma. Often, croutons are served as an independent dish. In Germany, croutons are made, which are then rubbed with garlic and served with beer.

Sweet croutons are often called French toast. This dish differs not only in the method of preparation, but also in the original composition of the ingredients. Sweet croutons are made exclusively from wheat bread. Moreover, the better quality flour was used for baking bread, the tastier the resulting croutons will be. Typically, pieces of wheat bread are pre-soaked in milk, then brushed with egg and baked. Sprinkle the top of the croutons with sugar or powdered sugar.

This dish is served as a dessert with jams, marmalade or marmalade. The calorie content of croutons depends, first of all, on the type of final product. For example, the calorie content of croutons with sugar, which are made with sunflower oil, will be simply sky-high. However, you can make croutons from rye or whole grain bread, without adding a sweet component. As a result, you will receive not only a tasty, but also a healthy food product that will not harm your health or figure.

To make a delicious breakfast, put the following ingredients on the table:

Meat delight: pie with minced meat and potatoes

Some people prefer to cook croutons with eggs and milk in a mixture of vegetable and butter fats. It is believed that this option tastes better. If you adhere to this theory, add 20 g of butter to the vegetable oil in the pan.

Now I’ll tell you how to fry croutons:

1. Process the eggs. You know that you need to wash the shells thoroughly before using them? Do this with water, a sponge and baking soda.
2. Break the eggs into a deep container. Shake the mixture with a fork and add milk. Stir again.
3. Lightly salt the mixture, even if you plan to make sweet croutons. For the latter option, you can add sweet sand to taste.
4. Heat a frying pan with fat.
5. Now the loaf comes into play. Take a slice and drop it into the mixture. When soaked, turn over. You can do the manipulations a couple of times.
6. Place a slice of bread in a container.
7. Do the same with the remaining pieces.
8. Remember that you need to place the workpieces on a hot frying pan. Then reduce the heat to medium. Fry until golden brown on both sides.

To get rid of excess oil, place the finished product on paper napkins. This technique will degrease the croutons.

Yummy is ready! Serve croutons with milk in combination with jam, pate or any other sauce.

Toast with eggs, or scrambled eggs in bread

Don't want to cook banal bread in eggs? What about real scrambled eggs? I am sure that such a breakfast should definitely take pride of place in the recipe box.

To prepare two servings you will need the following ingredients:

• eggs - 3 pcs.;
• milk - 30 ml;
• white bread - two pieces;
• vegetable oil - 20 ml;
• salt, pepper mixture - to taste.

Please note: we do not use a loaf, as in previous recipes, but white bread (“brick”). I think it's better suited for this dish. But you can take both the usual loaf and black bread.

Let's look at how to prepare croutons:

1. Let's prepare our “house” for scrambled eggs. Cut a large round hole in the middle of the slices. To do this, use a knife. It's even easier to do this with a glass.
2. To make the preparation soft and juicy, fry it in a mixture of eggs and milk. To do this, mix the necessary products in a deep container. Add salt and seasoning.
3. Heat the vegetable oil thoroughly.
4. Dip the bread pieces into the milk-egg mixture and place in the pan.
5. Fry on one side and turn over.
6. Carefully release the egg into the hole. Add a little salt and wait until the scrambled eggs reach the desired consistency.
7. Do the same with the other piece of bread.

Before serving, you can sprinkle the dish with fresh herbs. These egg toasts go perfectly with boiled sausages or vegetable salad.

Toast with egg, ham and cheese

This option is more nutritious and includes a savory filling. An excellent dish for always hungry men, but the rest of the family will also appreciate it.

The principle of making croutons is similar to the previous one. The only difference is that these will be soft sandwiches with filling.

• loaf (whole, weighing about 400 g);
• ham - 250 g;
• cheese - 150 g;
• milk - 70 ml;
• eggs - 3 pcs.;
• vegetable oil - 50 ml;
• salt - to taste.

To make these croutons with milk and egg, you don’t have to use ham. Uncooked smoked or doctor's sausage, pieces of boiled chicken fillet - in general, everything that is in the refrigerator will come in handy.

I’ll tell you the secret of how to make croutons:

1. First, let's start cutting the loaf correctly. Make slices of bread, but not thin, as usual, but thick. The width should be about 2.5 cm.
2. Now let's proceed directly to the sandwich preparations. The loaf slices should be cut in half, but do not cut all the way with a knife. About 1 or 2 cm between the slices should remain intact. You will get some kind of pockets where you can put goodies.
3. Now let's thinly slice our filling - ham and cheese.
4. Wash the eggs and break them into a suitable container. Add milk, salt and beat everything. You can pepper it a little.
5. Fill the loaf pockets with chopped products and dip into the milk-egg mixture.
6. Fry the loaf croutons with the egg in a frying pan with vegetable oil over medium or low heat. This is necessary for the cheese to become viscous.

The finished dish goes well with pickled cucumbers or olives. Try it - it's very tasty!

Toasts from black (gray) bread with garlic, milk and beaten egg

Ingredients:

• bread - half a loaf of gray or black bread;
• garlic – 1 clove;
• chicken eggs – 3 pcs. (category CO);
• table salt (finely ground) - on the tip of a knife;
• milk – 100-150 ml;
• ground mixture of peppers (or just black) – a pinch (to taste);
• sunflower oil, without additives and odor – 100-150 ml;
• fresh or dried herbs - a few pinches.

How to cook:

1. Cut the bread into thin slices, the optimal thickness is about 2 cm. If you have slightly dried bread, it is better to use it.
2. Prepare a deep bowl into which to crush a medium-sized clove of garlic using a press. Add eggs there, pour a little milk. You can rely on the amount indicated in the recipe, or you can add it by eye: the egg-milk mass should not be too liquid, otherwise you won’t get a golden brown crust.

Season with freshly ground pepper, add salt and herbs. Beat thoroughly with a fork or whisk.

Pour oil into the frying pan. To fry croutons you will need quite a lot of it, since bread “loves” to absorb excess liquid. But if you heat the fat well, a crust will quickly form on the surface of the pieces, which will prevent the bread crumb from absorbing too much oil. Place each slice in eggs beaten with milk, hold in the mixture for 10-15 seconds, and place in a heated frying pan.
