Recipe



n a small nonreactive saucepan, combine the orange juice, lemon juice, brandy, orange liqueur, port, orange zest, and sugar. Bring to a gentle boil over moderately low heat and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 1 1/4 cups, about 25 minutes. Set aside. (The syrup can also be made the day beforehand and refrigerated.)

In a medium saucepan, combine the milk with the lemon zest and cinnamon stick; bring to a simmer over low heat, and let steep for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place 3 bread slices in a single layer in a baking dish. Pour half the milk over the bread and let sit for a few minutes.

Warm the syrup if necessary. Heat a large heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot. Add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil.

Carefully dip the soaked bread in the beaten eggs and turn to coat both sides, then place in the skillet. Cook, turning once, until nicely browned and firm, 3 to 4 minutes per side. repeat with the remaining olive oil and bread.

Arrange the torrijas on a platter and drizzle with the warm orange syrup. Pass the remaining syrup on the side.
