Steps

40 min

1

Pour the milk into a saucepan with the other ingredients for infusing (cinnamon stick, citrus peels, sugar, and vanilla). Scrape the peels if needed and bring to a boil. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat and, without uncovering, let it cool until warm.

3

Meanwhile, slice the bread if needed; if using pre-sliced sandwich bread, leave as is.
4

When the milk is lukewarm, pour it into a tray and arrange the bread slices so they soak up all the milk, turning them at least twice. You can also leave them in the refrigerator overnight to absorb all the liquid.
5

Beat the eggs and coat the soaked bread slices on all sides. If you like, sprinkle regular sugar on top to caramelize.
6

Place the torrijas in a preheated Air Fryer at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C) until golden brown.
