Categories     Spanish Dessert

Time 5h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1-liter milk
Bread from the previous day
3 to 4 eggs
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Lemon and orange peel
Sugar
Cinnamon (powder)
1 cinnamon stick

Steps:

  • 1. Cut the bread in slices Cut the bread in slices of around one inch or 2.5 centimeters. I recommended using bread from the previous day or even bread that is two or three days old. If the bread is hard, it can soak up more milk. 2. Cut off a few small pieces of fresh lemon and orange peel. 3. Let the bread soak in milkMix the milk with the cinnamon stick and the orange & lemon peel. Afterward soak the slices of bread in the milk and let it rest for around four hours. The longer you soak the bread in the milk the juicier the Torrijas will get. 4. Dip the bread in the eggAfter four hours, take the pieces of bread out of the milk and let them drain for a few minutes. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. In the next step dip the bread slices with both sides one by one in the egg. 5. Deep fry the soaked bread slicesHeat up around 1 inch of olive oil in a pan and carefully transfer the soaked bread slices into the oil. I recommend using a spatula and a fork as the bread will be very soft and can break easily. Fry the slices for around two to three minutes on each side until they are brown. 6. Put the bread on a paper towelOnce the bread is done take it out and put it for a few minutes on a paper towel. 7. Dunk the bread in a sugar & cinnamon mixture Mix sugar and cinnamon on a deep plate and dunk the bread slices into it. 8. Enjoy your home-made Spanish Torrijas!

TORRIJAS

Categories     quick, weekday, dessert

Time 30m

Yield About 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 stick cinnamon
1/2 vanilla bean, split and scraped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 2-inch strip of lemon peel
1/2 brioche loaf (8 slices 1/2-inch thick)
8 egg yolks

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350. Boil a kettle full of water for the water bath.
  • Put the milk, cream, 1 cup sugar, cinnamon, bean, extract and lemon peel in a large saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and discard the cinnamon, bean and peel.
  • Arrange the brioche slices in a spiral in a deep 9-by-13-inch ovenproof baking dish. Gently pour the milk-and-cream mixture on top, allowing the brioche to slowly soak up most of the liquid.
  • In a medium bowl, beat the egg yolks together with 1/2 cup sugar until thick and light in color, about 2 minutes. Spread the mixture over the brioche slices, covering them completely and evenly.
  • Put the baking dish in a baking pan; put the whole thing in the oven. Carefully pour boiling water into the baking pan so it comes up the sides of the dish as much as possible. Bake until the top is golden and the egg is slightly puffed, about 20 minutes. Serve.
