It's Carnival season and Easter is coming up... it's time for torrijas! These are baked and sugar-free, so you can enjoy them with less guilt and without any lingering smells. They're quick to make, since half the time they're in the oven.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Combine the milk, honey or agave, orange peel, and cinnamon stick in a saucepan. As soon as it starts to boil, remove from heat, cover, and let it steep and cool.
2

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) with heat on both top and bottom. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. When you put the torrijas in, switch the oven to broil (top heat only).
3

Place the bread slices in a dish and pour the infused milk over them. Let them soak well, then use two spatulas to carefully transfer each slice to the prepared baking sheet.
4

Beat the egg and mix with ground cinnamon. Brush this mixture over the bread slices to help them turn golden brown.
5

Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown under the broiler.
6

When you take them out, drizzle a little honey or agave on top, or you can coat them in a mixture of sugar and cinnamon.
