Is there a more typical dish from the eastern that French toast? Today there are many versions of the traditional torrijas and all delicious, I this year, taking advantage of the fact that we have stayed at home due to bad weather, I have prepared French toast with cream which is the recipe that I share with you today.
The main difference with traditional torrijas is that the bread instead of being bathed only in milk is bathed in a mixture of milk with egg yolks and a little flour which makes the mixture creamier.
For the bread, although nowadays they sell special bread for torrijas, I use normal loaf bread, making sure it has a dense crumb and without many bubbles so that it absorbs more milk and does not fall apart. I also try to cut the bread slices the day before so that they dry a little and absorb more.
The important thing in the end is that you try different recipes and keep the one you like the most.

Ingredients
- 1 loaf of bread cut into slices (I usually make them 1,5 - 2 cm)
- 600 ml of milk
- the skin of 1 lemon (only the yellow part)
- 100 g sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- Yolks 6
- Beaten egg to coat the torrijas
- sugar and cinnamon to coat
- sunflower oil for frying
Preparation
Infuse the milk with the lemon peel, heating it before it starts to boil, remove from heat and let cool.
Place the bread slices in a shallow pan.
Prepare the cream by pouring the egg yolks, sugar and cornstarch into a container.
Then pour the cold milk and beat with a mixer or food processor.
Pour the cream we just made over the bread slices.
Let stand about 1 hour so that the torrijas are soaked well.
After this time, coat the torrijas in beaten egg.
Fry in a pan with plenty of hot oil until the torrijas begin to brown, turn them over and let them brown on the other side.
Remove to a plate with absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Then batter in sugar that we will have mixed with a teaspoon of ground cinnamon.
You already have your French toast with cream ready to taste.
