Spanish dessert / Postre del dia:
Torrijas - Spanish-style French Toast.
Have a fascinating history tied to religious traditions. While they can be enjoyed year-round, they are especially popular during Lent and Easter in Spain. They're often associated with Holy Week (Semana Santa) celebrations and have been part of Spanish cuisine since the 15th century, originally created as a way to use up stale bread and provide sustenance during fasting periods. Unlike French toast, torrijas are thick slices of bread often soaked in milk or wine mixed with eggs, flavored with cinnamon and lemon and then fried in olive oil. They're typically sweetened with sugar and drizzled with honey. While traditional recipes remain popular, modern Spanish chefs have created variations using ingredients like chocolate or fruit.
