"torrijas" (see below)
Here again, I'd leave the original with explanation in brackets, perhaps (special type of bread sliced and fried after dipping in wine or milk) or whatever
I know the Collins says torrijas are French toast - but they're nowhere near the same thing - taste absolutely different, specially considering the former are fried in olive oil and sometimes dipped in sweet wine prior to frying.

: Sorry. Though I don't think they taste anything like French toast, they do take egg.

Spanish style french toasts /french toast made with baguette slices
As the same we will make different recipes for brownies around the world, but each country gives its own particular name, I think in English there is no real translation. look at the reference below found at wikipedia.
French toast is the most approximate, and therefore can use this, but adding either Spanish style, spanish recipe, or "made with baguette slices"

As a Spanish native, Torrijas not always take eggs in the recipe, not always are dipped in any type of wine...we can say that, in each region of Spain, there are as many different recipes for "torrijas" as there may be many different recipes for brownies or french toast within all different states of America.
So to say they can't be translated is an option, but not for the difference in recipes regarding French Toast, but because there is no equivalent in English.
Only options would be either leave "torrijas" (mentioning what culinary they look/taste like) or translate as I suggest.
It only depends on the purpose or context of the whole translation.
