To make these delicious torrijas you're going to need:

The preparation is as follows:

  1. Put a pot on the fire with the milk, 2 cinnamon sticks, the washed skin of a lemon, without the white part, and 3 spoonfuls of sugar. Leave over medium heat so that the milk infuses with the cinnamon and lemon. Turn off before it starts boiling
  2. Beat the eggs, it's better to do it one at a time in case you are not sure how many you might need.
  3. Put plenty of extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan and wait until it is very hot.
  4. Soak the slices of bread first in the infused milk and then in the egg, wetting them well on both sides, and place them in the frying pan with the hot olive oil.
  5. When it is golden on one side, turn it over so it gets golden on the other side. When the torrija is ready, you have to take it out of the oil with a skimmer so that it drains the oil. Place them on a plate.
  6. Mix sugar and cinnamon powder in a bowl and coat the torrijas with this mixture while they are still warm. Place them in a bowl, and they are ready to eat and enjoy!

Some recipes instead of coating the torrija in sugar and cinnamon, make it in honey or syrup, in all its forms are very good. You can eat them alone, with a coffee, milk or chocolate, as an evening snack or at breakfast.
