Torrejas – Spanish French Toast
Torrejas or Torrijas, the Spanish version of French toast, are traditional Easter fare in Spain. It is said the dish was originally conceived in the South of Spain as a way to use up left over bread. Here, the stale bread seeps up sweetened, cinnamon-spiked milk. The bread is then coated in beaten eggs, fried in olive oil, and dipped in cinnamon sugar. The results: a delicious breakfast or dessert with a sweet, crunchy exterior and a creamy, pudding like middle.
