In a shallow bowl, beat the egg thoroughly.

Add the dash of milk and pinch of salt to the egg, then mix until well combined.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of margarine.
-
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly but quickly.
-
Place the coated bread slices into the hot pan.
-
Fry until the bottom side is light brown and crisp, then flip.
-
Cook the other side until equally golden brown and cooked through.
Note
Use margarine instead of oil or grease for a richer flavor profile.
Slice slightly stale bread for better absorption and texture.
Serve immediately while hot and crisp.
