Ingredients
- Bread (4 thick slices)
- Sweet Sherry (3 tablespoons)

- Double Cream (2 tablespoons)

Instructions
Steps
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together 2 medium eggs, 2 tablespoons of double cream, 2 tablespoons of milk, 3 teaspoons of golden caster sugar, and 3 tablespoons of sweet sherry. Cut 4 thick slices of bread in half and immerse them in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are well-coated. Allow the bread to soak for 10 minutes, gently flipping occasionally to avoid sogginess.
- Heat 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan. Fry the soaked bread slices for about 3 minutes on each side until they turn dark golden and crispy around the edges. Keep the cooked slices warm in a low oven while frying the remaining pieces.
- Serve the torrijas on plates, dusted with icing sugar and accompanied by crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
