How to Make Egg Fried Bread

  1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until light and frothy.
  2. Add the slices of bread to the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let soak for about 2 minutes, allowing the bread to absorb the custard.
  3. Heat the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the bread slices into the hot pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast accompaniments (sausages, bacon, tomatoes, syrup, jam, or honey). Enjoy!
