Instructions

1. 1

   step 1 In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, milk, golden caster sugar and sherry.

   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.

5. 5

   Keep the slices warm in a low oven as you cook the rest.

6. 6

   step 3 Divide the torrijas between plates and dust with the icing sugar.

7. 7

   Serve with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt on the side.
