Ingredients

2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon paprika or chili powder (optional for spice)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional for flavor)
1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)

Directions
Prepare the batter:
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and any optional seasonings (black pepper, paprika, garlic powder).
Stir in the grated cheese and chopped herbs if desired.
Prepare the bread:
Cut each slice of bread into halves, triangles, or strips for easy frying.
Dip the bread:
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to coat the bottom.
Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well coated.
Fry the bread:
Place the dipped bread slices in the hot skillet. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the fried slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Serve hot:
Enjoy immediately with a side of ketchup, hot sauce, or a creamy dip of your choice.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serve immediately: These fried bread slices taste best when hot and crispy.
Leftover storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
