DIY: Goya Foods’ Torrijas (Spanish French Toast)
Torrijas, the Spanish version of French toast, are an essential part of any Easter meal in Spain. In this version from Goya Foods, stale bread is soaked in a sweetened, cinnamon-scented milk before being coated in egg, fried in olive oil, and dipped in cinnamon sugar. The result is French toast with a sweet, crunchy exterior and a creamy, pudding-like inside. Learn how to make it yourself HERE.
