For the organic torrijas recipe you will need:

Ingredients:

• 1 artisan bread previous day's organic waste.
• 2 strips of the orange zest organic.
• 2 strips of the lemon zest organic.
• 1 cinnamon stick.
• 1 litre of organic milk of our choice (can be animal or plant-based).
• 1 organic egg.
• 40 grams of organic sugar.
• 2 tablespoons of sugar and two of cinnamon for decoration.

Preparation:

1. We infuse the milk with the cinnamon stick, the skins of the orange, the ones of lemon, alongside sugar. Medium-low heat to bring out the best of the flavours.
2. While the milk is boiling, we cut the bread in slices about 2 cm thick.
3. When the milk has started to boil, we remove it from the heat and we let it cool slightly.
4. We put the milk warmed in a deep bowl and we place the slices of bread, letting them soak thoroughly.
5. Afterwards we coat in batter in the beaten egg and we fry in abundant oil or bake for 25 mins, turning them over every 5 mins.
6. When they are ready, we coat them in batter with the sugar and cinnamon mix.
7. Our French toast is ready to serve and eat.

A trick to ensure your torrijas recipe is a guaranteed success is to add a splash of port wine organic to the milk before infusing. This will give a different and unique flavour to your dessert, especially when the torrijas have settled. Like many meals, this is one of those meals that is much better after a few hours have passed since they were made. This is because when left to rest, the flavours of the ingredients infuse better into the bread and this will make them taste better on your palate.

Recipes with organic ingredients they are a new way of reinventing our dishes and adapting them to ingredients obtained through sustainable procedures, being respectful of the environment.

These organic torrijas keep all the flavour and tradition of French toast as always, but with an improved and more sustainable version.
