Preparation
- Slice the loaf of sweet bread into 1-inch thick slices.
- The bread should ideally be day-old, as it will hold up better when soaked.
- If using fresh bread, lightly toast the slices to help them absorb the milk without falling apart.
- In a shallow dish (large enough to dip the bread), add the 2 cups of milk.
- In another shallow dish, beat the 3 eggs (this will be the egg wash to coat the soaked bread slices).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with vegetable oil to the pan, enough to cover the bottom.
- Take each slice of bread and dunk it in the milk mixture.
- Let it soak for 15-20 seconds on each side so that the bread absorbs the liquid but doesn’t become overly soggy.
- Then dip each soaked slice into the beaten eggs, coating it on both sides.
- Once the oild is hot, fry the soaked bread slices for 2-3 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if necessary.
- Place the fried rabanadas on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Dust the rabanadas with a mixture of sugar and cinnamon while they’re still warm.
