• This German dish was widespread in 19th century Germany. It is very easy to prepare and does not require a lot of culinary skills.

• Dip slices of bread in an egg-milk mixture on both sides and fry in butter for about 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle sugar over the hot croutons if desired. You can also sprinkle with grated cheese.
• Serve for breakfast.

Well, you must)))) Now I will know what the croutons from my childhood are called)))
Mom took a regular loaf (stagnant times, as we call it here)))) cut it and did everything exactly as described))) even sprinkled with sugar
only cheese, due to its shortage, was not used)))

you need to offer your child for breakfast
Thank you for reminding))))

Just about, I also remembered the croutons of my childhood, and already in my student years I prepared them for myself with cheese. Thanks for reminding

This dish in preschool institutions (kindergartens) of the Soviet period was simply called - a roll with an egg. The kids were happy with it, and the cooks were happy - quickly and without much hassle.

["Poor Knight" aka "French Toast"]

In many countries there is a dish with the funny name "Poor Knight". You won't find a better quick breakfast, but where does this romantic name come from?

Here, here you can get acquainted with the history of the creation of these croutons, why they are so called "Poor Knight" aka "French Toast"

In the cooking method, it is written to beat eggs with eggs and milk. Need to clarify the situation

Now I make such croutons for my grandchildren. They love very much!

I used to gorge myself on my mother's!

I, as a rule, immediately add sugar to milk-eggs, and also a little salt. Delight!
Excellent breakfast.

I loved these croutons when I was little, and even now I will not refuse! And now my children are asking all the time - tasty, simple, fast !!!

[Tusya Tasya]

This is really a dish that is loved by many Germans, Russians and French. Our family also loves these croutons. The main thing is fast and satisfying.

Tusya Tasya, "eggs with eggs" - I did not notice it, I was in a hurry. I'll fix it!

Admin, Thanks for the link!

Our family is also very good. love this poor food
Even when my daughter was little, she said: croutons (emphasis on I)
that's what we call. My son also joined ..
I read somewhere that in some kitchen they are with an emphasis on I
On weekends, we have traditional croutons, sweet homemade ones are not very good. love, like sausages, ham on top.
I fry from gray bread too, but this is for myself, for me very good. like gray

Aprelevna, the stress on AND is also given in our dictionaries: one crouton - crouton. Although the version of the toast-grEnka has firmly taken root. In general, to make it tasty!

one crouton

I would never have thought that so, I am closer to "one toast", but better to "five toast"

That's for sure, the more the better.

And I add garlic instead of sugar to the egg-milk mixture. And so this is a truly incomparable dish for all times and tastes - even with sugar, even with salt - cheese.

[Tusya Tasya]

Tusya Tasya, with garlic - it's interesting. I haven't tried that yet. We must do it.

Natasha, yeah, for sure)))) I really love eggs with garlic, and here the favorite combination of products will be
Thanks for the hint)))

[Ludmila]

Ludmila, thanks again for the recipe from childhood))) the youngest really liked it)))
we have a new tradition, croutons for breakfast on the weekend, it's so great))) I'm not a very efficient hostess, I want to sleep longer on the weekend and I only occasionally spoil homemade pancakes for breakfast, and with croutons it's much easier))) )
I am now an almost exemplary mom who prepares a hot breakfast for my family in the morning

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I am glad that you liked the recipe. Mine are also very fond of croutons, especially the younger. I make hot sandwiches for breakfast almost every day (not only as in the recipe, I do these when there is more time, also on weekends). And so, in order to save time, in the evening I make preparations: bread, sausage, cheese. I put them in a multicooker, I have Steba, and put them on a delayed start. In the morning we get up, and there is already a hot breakfast.
