Ingredients
- 1 loaf of white bread in slices (about 13 slices)
- 3 tablespoons of sugar (depending on how sweet you like the “torrija”)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- grated orange rind (optional)
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- a dash of salt
- 1 litre of milk
- 4 eggs
- half a litre of olive oil
- ground cinnamon
Preparation
Heat the milk in a saucepan adding the cinnamon sticks, the sugar and the honey. Let it boil.
Cut the bread into slices of about 1 inch.
Pour the milk into a bowl or plate and place the bread slices, one at a time, until they are soaked.
Turn the slices gently and let them soak the other side.
Break eggs into a wide, shallow bowl or deep plate; beat lightly with a fork.
Stir in a dash of salt. Heat a frying pan with the olive oil. When hot, fry the slices one by one.
Turn and brown both sides, being careful not to burn them.
Place them on a plate covered with some paper towel so that they can drain the oil.
Finally, place them on a nice platter and sprinkle a mixture of cinnamon ground and sugar on top.
Enjoy your “torrija”!
