How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, milk, golden powdered sugar, and sherry until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.
- Cut each slice of bread in half if they are very large and dip them in the mixture, ensuring they are well soaked on both sides. Let rest for 10 minutes, turning carefully to absorb the flavors.
- Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the bread slices until golden and crispy on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, watching for a rich golden hue.
- Keep the torrijas warm in the oven at a low temperature while the others are frying to maintain their warmth and texture.
- Sprinkle the French toast with icing sugar and serve with fresh cream or Greek yogurt for an added layer of indulgence.
