milk

🥗Healthier: almond milk

💰Cheaper: water + powdered milk

Almond milk reduces calories while maintaining creaminess.

sugar

🥗Healthier: stevia

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Stevia reduces calories while providing sweetness.

honey

🥗Healthier: agave syrup

💰Cheaper: maple syrup

Agave syrup is a lower-cost alternative with similar sweetness.

bread

🥗Healthier: whole grain bread

💰Cheaper: stale bread

Whole grain bread is healthier, while stale bread reduces waste.

Slice the bread into thick pieces and set aside.

In a bowl, whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and salt until well combined.

Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot oil, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the torrejas from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

Serve warm, optionally with fresh fruit or syrup.
