Ingredients
Scale
Sandwiches
- 8 slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Breading and Cooking
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy, creating a sweet cheesecake filling.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form four sandwiches.
- Make the egg wash: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined, forming a smooth coating mixture for frying.
- Coat the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg wash, making sure both sides are evenly coated for that crispy fried exterior.
- Fry the sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet carefully and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter if necessary for frying the second batch.
- Drain and serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving warm for a sweet, gooey treat.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for the best soft and rich texture that fries well.
- You can substitute strawberry jam with any berry jam of your choice for variety.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to easily blend with powdered sugar for a smooth filling.
- Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
- To reduce butter usage, you can use non-stick spray, but butter adds flavor and crispness.
