How to Make Torrijas Spanish French Toast

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  2. Dip each slice of day-old bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let the bread soak for about 15-20 seconds per side, allowing it to absorb the custard.
  3. Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Once cooked, transfer the Torrijas to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  6. Generously dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately. Optional: Drizzle with honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness.
