Slice bread 1 inch thick and then cut off crusts, if you want. Slice each piece of bread into 1 inch sticks. Place on a wire rack to dry overnight, dry in a 300°F oven for 10 minutes, or just use them as they are.
Warm large nonstick pan to medium heat. Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil and one tablespoon of butter to the pan and allow the butter to melt to melt. Dip bread in egg mixture, turning to coat all sides evenly.
