- 2 cups of Milk (480 milliliters)
- 3 units of Eggs

How to make Torrijas in the oven:
- Our first step to make this special recipe for Easter is to prepare the ingredients.
- Bring the milk, orange peel and lemon, cinnamon and vanilla essence to a pot. Leave on the fire until it boils and remove immediately. It is important that the citrus skin does not contain white parts since these can make the final result bitter.
- Once we remove our flavored milk add the sugar and mix well until it is completely dissolved. This milk preparation is the main ingredient in French toast.
- Next, we are going to make a station to coat the French toast. To do this, we place a bowl with the beaten eggs and in another we add the flavored milk, it is important that the latter is cold.
- First we pass the first slice through the flavored milk; we must turn it around with a fork so that the bread is well soaked.
- After the flavored milk, we pass the bread soaked in the egg and we impregnate both sides well again.
- Take the bread Torrijas to a previously greased oven plate and bake at 180º degrees until golden brown.
- Serve our homemade French toast bathing with a little flavored milk on top and if you wish, some sliced strawberries will go very well on the plate if you want it for breakfast or dinner.
