- Dip the bread pieces in the liquid mixture, letting them soak thoroughly
- Dip each soaked piece into the beaten eggs
- Remove from the egg and let it sit for a few moments for excess liquid to drain

Observations
This recipe uses sliced bread to create delicate pieces. The secret to getting the ideal result is to make sure the bread soaks up the liquid well before frying, keeping the temperature controlled so they turn out golden and with the perfect texture.
