1

Slice the bread into thick pieces and set aside.

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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.
