- Now, trim the edges of the bread. To make bite-sized pieces, cut the bread into squares or triangles by slicing it in half. These types of shapes are easy to make and will be easier while frying.
- Now, prepare beaten eggs in a bowl. The number of eggs will depend upon the bite slices.
- Take bites one after one and dip them in a beaten egg. After dipping, take the bites straight to the breadcrumbs and coat thoroughly. Do it all separately and place them on a plate together.

Chef’s Tips
- For extra crunch, repeat the egg and breadcrumb coating process.
- Fry at medium heat (around 350°F/175°C). With too much of the heat, the bites will burn outside
while staying undercooked inside. Similarly, lower heat will make the bites absorb excess oil.
- Keep fried bites on a paper towel to remove excess oil for a crispier finish.
