Torrejas recipe - Cuban French Toast
courtesy of the
Cocina Cubana Club founded by Pascual Perez & chef Sonia
Martinez
1 loaf Cuban
bread
4 eggs, beaten
2 teaspoon dry wine
1 can evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup sugar
2 cups oil for frying (*)
Torrejas is the Cuban version of French Toast. If Cuban bread is not
available in your area, use a French or an Italian bread loaf.
Mix eggs, milk, sugar, wine, vanilla and cinnamon; cut bread in
slices less than 1" thick. Soak bread in the milk mixture. Fry in
hot oil until lightly golden.
Serve with sugar syrup or any other type syrup (maple, fruit syrup,
etc).
(*) Instead of so much oil, I prefer to fry them in just a small
amount of butter.
