Torrejas or Torrijas, the Spanish version of French toast, are traditional Easter fare in Spain. It is said the dish was originally conceived in the South of Spain as a way to use up left over bread. Here, the stale bread seeps up sweetened, cinnamon-spiked milk. The bread is then coated in beaten eggs, fried in olive oil, and dipped in cinnamon sugar. The results: a delicious breakfast or dessert with a sweet, crunchy exterior and a creamy, pudding like middle.
