Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Torrijas
Classic Spanish torrijas made in the air fryer — thick slices of bread soaked in citrus-and-cinnamon milk, dipped in egg, and crisped golden with a honey finish. It's the traditional Easter dessert with a fraction of the oil of frying.
Soft and custardy inside, caramelized outside, they're pure nostalgia for anyone who grew up with them. Serve warm, drizzled with honey.
Ingredients
Instructions
Flavor the milk
Warm the milk with the citrus peels and cinnamon stick, then let it cool slightly and strain.
Soak & dip
Soak the bread slices in the flavored milk until saturated, then dip in beaten egg.
Air fry
Place on parchment, spray lightly with oil, and air fry at 360°F for about 10–12 minutes, flipping once, until golden and caramelized.
Serve
Drizzle with warm honey (or dust with cinnamon sugar) and serve.
- Day-old or sturdy bread holds up best to soaking.
- Let the egg coating drain slightly before air frying.
- A light spray of oil gives the best golden color.
Frequently asked
How long do torrijas take in the air fryer?
About 10–12 minutes at 360°F, flipping once, until golden.
What bread is best for torrijas?
A dense, slightly stale loaf (or special 'pan de torrijas') holds its shape through soaking.

Soak just before cooking — over-soaking makes them fall apart.
