🍓🧀 Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches

🍓🧀 Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches – Crispy, Creamy, and Totally Craveable!
Golden-fried pockets of buttery bread stuffed with sweet strawberry preserves and tangy cream cheese—like cheesecake meets French toast in the best way possible!
📋 Ingredients:
• 8 slices of brioche or white sandwich bread (crusts removed)
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 tbsp powdered sugar
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup strawberry preserves or fresh strawberry compote
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1 tbsp granulated sugar (optional)
• Butter or oil, for frying
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
🥣 Directions:
Make the filling:
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
Assemble the sandwiches:
Flatten each bread slice slightly with a rolling pin. Spread cream cheese mixture on one slice, strawberry preserves on another, then press together to form a sandwich. Seal edges by pinching or pressing with a fork.
Dip & fry:
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs with milk (and cinnamon/sugar, if using). Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture.
Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry sandwiches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Finish & serve:
Drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm. Optional: drizzle with melted chocolate or a simple glaze!
💡 Tips:
• Try with Nutella or fresh banana slices for fun variations
• Use day-old bread for better texture
• Don’t overfill—just enough to melt and stay sealed
