Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 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

Batter and Frying

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, thoroughly mix the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy to create the sweet cheesecake filling.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer the sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese. Cover each with the remaining bread slices to form four sandwiches.
  3. Make Egg Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the two eggs and 3 tablespoons milk until fully combined, creating a smooth batter for dipping.
  4. Dip Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are fully coated. Let excess drip off before frying.
  5. Fry Sandwiches: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter as needed to prevent sticking and enhance browning.
  6. Drain and Finish: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them drain briefly on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess butter.
  7. Serve: Dust the fried sandwiches with powdered sugar before serving warm for a decadent treat.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for a rich, slightly sweet flavor and tender crumb.
  • Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for easy spreading.
  • Fresh strawberries can be substituted with other berry fruits if desired.
  • Serve immediately for best texture; reheating may reduce crispiness.
  • This recipe can be doubled to serve more people.
  • For a lighter option, skip frying and toast the assembled sandwiches instead, though the traditional fried texture is key to the recipe’s appeal.
