Ingredients

Scale

Filling Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Breading Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of bread (brioche, Texas toast, or similar)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (use gluten-free flour for gluten-free version)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tbsp sugar (for sprinkling)

Frying Ingredients

  • Butter or oil for frying (about 2-3 tbsp)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the thinly sliced fresh strawberries to create a juicy, sweet filling.
  2. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake-strawberry mixture onto one slice of bread. Top with another slice of bread and press lightly to seal the sandwich.
  3. Coat the Sandwich: Prepare a breading station with shallow dishes of flour and beaten eggs. Lightly dust the sandwich with flour, then dip it into the egg wash, and dust again with flour to create a thick coating that will fry crisply.
  4. Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat butter or oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the sandwich slowly for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, taking care to prevent burning.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the sandwich from the pan and place it on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, melty filling and crispy crust.

Notes

  • Use sturdy, thick-sliced bread like brioche or Texas toast for the best structure and frying results.
  • Don’t overstuff the sandwich to prevent it from falling apart during frying.
  • Maintain medium heat when frying to ensure a crispy crust without burning.
  • Pat strawberries dry before mixing to avoid a soggy filling.
  • Serve the sandwich immediately after frying for optimal texture and flavor.
