Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (white sliced bread recommended)
- 250 ml milk
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon powder (for sprinkling)
- 1 piece of lemon or orange peel (grated)
- 1 knob of butter (25g)
- Honey or additional sugar (to taste)
Preparation
Start by preparing the infused milk. In a pot, combine the milk, cinnamon stick, sugar, and grated lemon or orange peel. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once it bubbles, remove it from the heat and let it cool. To speed up the cooling process, place the pot in a sink filled with cold water. This step ensures the bread doesn’t break when soaked. You can also prepare this mixture the night before and refrigerate it for a quick breakfast.
In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs. Gradually mix the cooled milk into the eggs, ensuring the mixture is well combined. This step differs from traditional torrejas, as the egg is not directly mixed with the hot milk.
Arrange the bread slices in a bowl and generously pour the egg and milk mixture over them, allowing the bread to soak up the flavors. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a knob of butter. Once the butter melts, place the soaked bread slices in the skillet, cooking two at a time. Brown each side evenly, ensuring a golden crust forms.
Transfer the cooked bread slices to a plate. Drizzle with honey or sprinkle with additional sugar, depending on your preference. Finally, dust with cinnamon powder for that signature cinnamon toast aroma and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy this sweet, aromatic breakfast treat!
