Instructions

• step 1 In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, milk, golden caster sugar and sherry
• Cut each slice of bread in two and dip them into the egg mix, turning to make sure they get a good coating on either side
• Soak bread in egg mixture for 10 mins to absorb the liquid (carefully turn them over from time to time and make sure they don’t get too soggy)
• step 2 Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the bread for about 3 mins on each side until dark golden and crisp on the edge
• Keep the slices warm in a low oven as you cook the rest
• step 3 Divide the torrijas between plates and dust with the icing sugar
• Serve with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt on the side
