Instructions

1
In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs with the cream, milk, golden caster sugar and sherry.
2
Cut each slice of bread in two and dip them into the egg mix, turning to make sure they get a good coating on either side.
3
Soak bread in egg mixture for 10 mins to absorb the liquid (carefully turn them over from time to time and make sure they don’t get too soggy).
4
Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large frying pan and cook the bread for about 3 mins on each side until dark golden and crisp on the edge.
5
Keep the slices warm in a low oven as you cook the rest.
6
Divide the torrijas between plates and dust with the icing sugar.
7
Serve with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt on the side.
