Pan-Fried Breakfast Bread

The TikTok social media app has become a huge hit for many not just for those silly dances, but also for tasty recipes. One of my recent favorites is this easy egg bread. It's similar to what you might consider a French toast recipe but is savory instead.

If you like this recipe, you might also like the TikTok egg sandwich recipe or even this cool easy sausage egg tortilla wrap that was created from another simple TikTok hack.

What Goes With Egg Fried Bread?

This is a breakfast recipe so ideal when served alongside items like oven-baked bacon, scrambled or fried eggs, sausage, or a side of yogurt and fruit. It can be eaten all by itself or used with almost any breakfast food.

It can also be served alongside any other meal as a savory bread side. For a bit more flavor you could add a bit of cheese to the bread just after removing it from the pan to create a cheesy egg bread option for serving.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the Best Bread for Making Egg Bread?

For this recipe, thick soft bread is ideal. You can use a banquette, French bread, or Texas Toast that is already sliced thickly. While it can be made with regular sandwich bread, it is best when made with thick bread to soak up the milk and egg before frying.

Can I Season This Differently?

The egg bread is very basic and ideal for serving alongside other easy recipes or sides. For French toast, you would combine with more sugar and cinnamon. To keep this savory but add a bit more flavor, you can definitely whisk in ¼ to ½ teaspoon additional spices in the milk or eggs. Cumin, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder would all give a richer savory flavor.

What's the Difference Between This and French Toast?

Egg bread is savory while French toast is sweetened. The only difference in preparation is that all liquid ingredients are whisked together with additional sugar and cinnamon when making French toast.

Can I Make This Ahead of Time?

While this can be made ahead of time and reheated, it is best to serve fresh and hot. Since it takes just 10-minutes from start to finish, I recommend just making what you are able to eat rather than making larger batches to the freezer for later.

Tips for Making Egg Bread

How Do I Prevent My Bread from Burning?

When making this recipe, it is best to cook slower over medium heat. This will result in a crisp exterior and a light fluffy interior without burning the bread.

Why is My Pan-Fried Bread Soggy In the Middle?

See above for the reason this would happen. If you are cooking at too high a heat it will crips the outside before cooking the middle and result in a soggy middle with burnt outside.
