How to Tell It's Done
Tips
- Bread that's a day or two old soaks up the mixture without falling apart; very fresh bread tears when dipped.
Common Mistakes
- Medium heat, not high: the slice needs time to cook through inside before the butter browns it outside.
- What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
More Ways
- Dip each slice on both sides and fry over medium heat 2–3 minutes per side, until golden.
