How to Make Torrijas?

Step 1
Cut the stale bread into slices about 2 centimeters thick.

Step 2
Transfer the bread slices to a baking dish or large bowl and drizzle with milk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes, until they are softened on all sides, and add more milk if necessary.

Step 3
Once the bread has rested, heat the seed oil in a large pan and, in the meantime, beat the eggs in a large bowl.

Step 4
Drain the milk from the bread slices slightly, then pass them in the egg.

Step 5
Turn them several times so that both sides are perfectly covered.

Step 6
Fry them for 5-6 minutes in very hot seed oil, taking care to turn them halfway through cooking, when the first side is slightly golden.

Step 7
When both sides are golden brown, remove the fried bread slices with a slotted spoon.

Step 8
Transfer them onto a plate lined with straw paper or kitchen paper towels, so as to eliminate the excess oil.

Step 9
Collect and mix the sugar and cinnamon powder in a dish, then cover each slice of bread with the mixture, making sure it adheres well.

Step 10
The torrijas are ready to be enjoyed, while still hot and crunchy!
