At home, dulce de leche is a must-have, so I came up with the idea to make mini dulce de leche sandwiches and dress them up like torrijas. The result is simply amazing. Apparently, my son had never tried torrijas before and was a bit skeptical when he saw me dipping the sandwich in egg and milk, but afterward he told me he's a total fan now. Let me tell you how to make them.

Steps

30 minutes

1

Start by infusing the milk with a cinnamon stick, orange zest, and lemon zest. I don't add any sweetener. When it comes to a boil, remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for at least 5 minutes while you prepare the rest.
2

Heat a little olive oil in a pan—just enough to cover the bottom. Make the sandwich using a soft bread (I use 'cristal' bread, which is very tender; I toast it for a couple of minutes to keep it from falling apart). Wait until the oil is hot. Dip the sandwich well in the beaten egg.
3

Next, soak it in the infused milk and place it directly in the pan. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown, then remove.

Enjoy!
