Torrijas with sherry

Ingredients

• 2 medium Egg
• 2 tbsp Double Cream
• 2 tblsp Milk
• 3 tsp Golden Caster Sugar
• 3 tablespoons Sweet Sherry
• 4 thick slices Bread
• For frying Olive Oil
• To serve Icing Sugar
• To serve Creme Fraiche

Instructions

1. In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, caster sugar and sweet sherry until smooth.
2. Cut each slice of bread in half and place in the egg mixture, turning gently so both sides are well coated. Leave to soak for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bread has absorbed the liquid but is not falling apart.
3. Heat about 1½ tablespoons of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Fry the soaked bread for around 3 minutes on each side until deep golden and crisp at the edges. Keep cooked slices warm in a low oven while you fry the rest.
4. Divide the torrijas between plates, dust with icing sugar and serve immediately with crème fraîche or Greek yogurt.
