Description
If you love desserts that are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and bursting with fruity flavor, you’re about to meet your new obsession: Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches.
Ingredients
- 8 slices of brioche or white sandwich bread (soft and thick-cut works best)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- Butter or oil for frying
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Whipped cream or strawberry sauce for serving (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy. Fold in the chopped strawberries gently.
Lay out your bread slices. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on four of them. Top with the remaining slices to make sandwiches. Press the edges gently to seal, or trim the crusts for a neater look.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add cinnamon and granulated sugar if desired for extra sweetness and flavor.
Heat a nonstick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter or oil. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Place the dipped sandwich in the hot pan. Fry 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crisp. Repeat with remaining sandwiches, adding more butter as needed.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar and serve immediately with whipped cream, strawberry slices, or a drizzle of strawberry syrup.
Notes
- Use soft, thick bread like brioche or challah
- Avoid overfilling the sandwich; a moderate amount of cream cheese mixture prevents leakage
- Don’t skip the egg dip—it helps create the golden crust
