Sorry James, just saw where you asked what bread egg was. I believe it is a depression era dish. My grandfather and grandmother had 10 children all around the depression era and had a farm with a lot of chickens. My grandmother would make bread egg for breakfast for all the kids, it was cheap and filling. My mother and her siblings all continued serving this recipe. You takes a bowl full of eggs, add milk, beat like you are going to make scrambled eggs. Now take day old or older homemade bread, bread into pieces and put into egg mixture, add enough bread to soak up all the egg, put some butter into a fry pan, melt and add the breadegg. Fry it up! Put it on a plate add a pile of salt and pepper! Enjoy!
