The torrejas filled with dulce de leche are a traditional dessert in Latin America and Spain. There are many variations of torrejas, but these made with dulce de leche are very popular in Honduras throughout the year and especially during Christmas season. Making them at home is very simple and you probably already have everything you need in your pantry. The baguette bread should be about a day old so it can hold better when immersed in the dulce de leche mixture.
