0 Recipe Reviews | Rate this Recipe | 79 Saves

Venezuela produce naranjas y ron, así que tiene sentido que esta versión de las tostadas francesas se sirva con un exquisito almíbar (sirope) confeccionado con estas joyas locales. Tanto la mezcla de huevo como el almíbar vienen impregnados con canela. Este plato también es conocido como torrejas o torrijas en otros países de Latinoamérica. Sirve las tostadas con rebanadas de naranjas frescas y les darás un giro especial.

FOR ORANGE-RUM SYRUP:
PLACE water, sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves, rum and orange zest in medium, heavy-duty saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, on medium-high heat until mixture thickens slightly and turns golden, about 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from heat; remove cinnamon stick and cloves. Keep warm or, if to be used later, allow to cool and pour into container; cover and refrigerate. Warm before serving. Makes 1 1/2 cups.

FOR BREAKFAST TOAST:
WHISK together evaporated milk, eggs, sugar and cinnamon in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture into 13 x 9-inch pan or shallow dish. Place bread slices in milk mixture. Turn bread over to coat evenly.

POUR oil into large skillet to reach 1/8-inch up side. Heat over medium-high heat until oil is very hot. Fry bread slices until golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and heat until golden, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Transfer to warmserving platter. Serve with warm Orange-Rum Syrup. Garnish with orange slices and mint leaves, if desired.
