# Torrijas

Torrijas are a spanish dessert traditionally eaten during the Holy Week (Easter). It is said they were first cooked using the leftovers from the Lent.

• ⏲️ Prep time: 1 min

# Ingredients

• Dried bread (or Torrijas bread). Must be bread from a regular loaf, not from a tin loaf.

• Cinnamon
• Grated lemon rind (optional)

# Directions

1. Mull the milk with cinnamon and a bit of sugar (not too much, the milk is already sweet). Add the lemon rind if you want.
2. Cool down the milk.
3. While the milk is cooling, beat the eggs and heat up half a pan of olive oil.
4. Cut the dry bread in slices. Soak it in the milk.
