Torrija or torreja is a typical dessert of Lent and Holy Week in Spain. It consists of a slice of bread that is soaked in milk or wine with honey and spices, and, after being dipped in egg, fried in a pan with olive oil.
Description
Torrija is usually made by soaking stale bread in milk overnight, before dipping it in batter and frying it with olive oil. This cooking technique breaks down the fibres of the bread and results in a pastry with a crispy outside and smooth inside.[1] It is often sprinkled with cinnamon as a final touch.
