Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or until firm. 4. Cut the custard into 2-inch squares, dip the squares into the beaten eggs, and then into the crumbs, covering all sides. In a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, heat the oil until very hot but not smoking, and cook the squares until brown, 2 minutes on each side, turning carefully with a spatula.
