Remove from heat and let the syrup cool down to room temperature.

4

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

5

Slice the bread into thick pieces and dip each slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it's well-coated.

6

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

7

Fry the coated bread slices until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried torrejas and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Garnish with lime and orange zest before serving.
