TORRIJAS

Torrijas are slices of bread soaked in milk and fried in olive oil. They are typical from Spain and It's believed that torrijas originated in Andalucian convents during the XV century as a way to use up stale bread.
Although torrijas are a popular breakfast food, they can be eaten any time of the day. This dessert is really cheap and tasty, very easy to cook..
Torrijas are cooked specially during the Easter.

  1. well... that recipe is for milky torrijas... not the real one, or the most common. This one uses white wine diluted in water, and honey. The process is similar, soak the bread in the wine, after in beaten egg and fry. After you have to soak them in the honey (also diluted in hot water).

    This is the MOST common recipe and classical. In fact i'm eating 3 of them now jajajaja of course i live in Spain.
