Torrijas with Sherry Recipe - Authentic Spanish Delight

1. 1

   Prepare the milk mixture

   In a bowl, combine the milk, sherry, sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Whisk until well mixed.

   Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to enhance the flavors.
2. 2

   Soak the bread

   Submerge each slice of bread in the milk mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side.

   Avoid soaking too long to prevent the bread from falling apart.
3. 3

   Beat the eggs

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. This will be used for coating the soaked bread.

   Add a pinch of salt to the eggs for flavor.
4. 4

   Heat the oil

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

   Test the oil by dropping a small piece of bread to see if it sizzles.
5. 5

   Fry the torrijas

   Dip each soaked bread slice into the beaten eggs, then place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides.

   Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.
6. 6

   Drain and serve

   Remove the fried torrijas and drain on paper towels. Optionally, drizzle with honey before serving.

   Serve warm for the best flavor.
