Torrijas is typically made using sliced, thick and stale bread as its base, which is soaked in milk (or wine), sugar, and sometimes flavoured with cinnamon or citrus peel.
Much like French toast, the torrijas are then dipped in beaten eggs and fried in olive oil until golden brown.
They are then sprinkled with sugar and cinnamon and drizzled with honey or syrup, or sometimes ice cream.
