Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam or preserves

For the Sandwiches:

  • 8 slices of white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Frying and Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the strawberry jam or preserves, mixing until evenly combined. Set aside.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

  1. Lay the bread slices flat and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over half of the slices.
  2. Top with fresh strawberry slices and cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Press the edges of each sandwich lightly to seal.

3. Make the Egg Mixture

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg, milk, cinnamon, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.

4. Prepare for Frying

  1. Lightly dust each sandwich with flour on both sides to help them hold their shape during frying.

5. Fry the Sandwiches

  1. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
  2. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
  3. Carefully place the sandwiches into the hot oil and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove the sandwiches using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Serve

  1. Dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
  2. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth filling.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
  • Adjust the sweetness of the filling by adding more or less powdered sugar to suit your preference.
  • Monitor the oil temperature closely to avoid burning the sandwiches during frying.
