Ingredients
- 6 slices stale bread (baguette or rustic loaf)
- 250 ml milk
- 2 large eggs
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Peel and finely mince the garlic. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add half of the minced garlic to the mixture and whisk to combine.
Step 3
Place the bread slices in a shallow dish. Pour the milk and egg mixture over the bread, ensuring each slice is well-coated. Let the bread soak for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway through to absorb evenly.
Step 4
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Step 5
Once the pan is hot, add the remaining minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Gently lift each soaked bread slice out of the dish, letting any excess liquid drip off, and place it in the skillet. Cook the bread in batches, 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Step 7
Remove the cooked torrijas from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy your savory garlic torrijas!
