  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 sandwiches (4 halves) 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 4 slices thick white or brioche bread
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 6–8 fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Dipping Batter and Frying

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil for frying

Finishing Touch

  • Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar until smooth and creamy. Optionally, add a splash of vanilla extract to enhance flavor. Set aside.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of a bread slice. Layer thinly sliced fresh strawberries over the cream cheese. Top with a second slice of bread, pressing gently to seal.
  3. Prepare the Dipping Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Dip and Coat the Sandwiches: Quickly dip each sandwich into the egg-milk mixture, coating all sides evenly without oversoaking, to ensure a crispy crust when fried.
  5. Fry to Perfection: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwiches in the pan and fry each side for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy, flipping gently to keep the filling intact.
  6. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Transfer fried sandwiches to paper towels to drain excess oil. Dust with powdered sugar if desired and enjoy while the filling is warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use sturdy, thick-cut or brioche bread to prevent sogginess during frying.
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature before mixing for easier spreading and smoother texture.
  • Dip sandwiches quickly to avoid soggy bread and to get a crispy exterior.
  • Maintain medium heat while frying to achieve a golden crust without burning.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor with warm melty filling.
