Chef tips
For perfect torrijas, use thick-cut, slightly stale white bread to soak up the milk mixture without falling apart. Soak each slice for at least a minute per side until it is very soft and heavy. For kids who love chocolate, spread a little chocolate spread between two thin slices before dipping and frying, or serve with natural maple syrup and fresh banana slices on top.
