Full Recipe:

Ingredients

Stale bread slices: Enough to suit your preference (about 4-6 slices)
Eggs: 2 large
Salt: To taste
Black pepper: To taste
Chives: A handful, chopped
Parsley: A handful, chopped
Milk: 59 ml (¼ cup)
Butter: A small piece (about 1 tablespoon)
Vegetable oil: For frying
Cheese: Any variety you prefer (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Bread

Cut the Bread: Take the stale bread slices and cut them into bite-sized cubes. If the bread is particularly hard, you might want to let it sit out a bit longer to dry out further, or toast it lightly to achieve the desired texture.

Step 2: Make the Egg Mixture

Beat the Eggs: In a mixing bowl, crack the two eggs and beat them until they are well combined.
Add Seasonings: Stir in the salt, black pepper, chopped chives, and chopped parsley. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
Incorporate Milk: Add the milk to the egg mixture and stir until everything is combined.

Step 3: Coat the Bread

Combine Bread and Egg Mixture: Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture, ensuring that each piece is well-coated. Allow the mixture to sit for a few minutes to let the bread absorb the flavors.

Step 4: Cook the Croutons
