Torrijas

Cultural Context

Originating in Spain, torrijas are a traditional dish often enjoyed during Holy Week (Semana Santa). They represent a way to use stale bread and are a sweet, comforting treat reminiscent of French toast. Today, torrijas are celebrated beyond the Easter season, enjoyed year-round in various forms across Spain and increasingly in other cultures.
