Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh, ripe strawberries, thinly sliced

Bread

  • 8 slices brioche or soft sandwich bread

Batter and Coating

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Vegetable or canola oil, for frying (about 1-2 cups)

To Finish

  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Ensure the mixture is well blended to create a luscious center for your sandwiches.
  2. Slice the Strawberries: Wash and pat dry fresh strawberries, then slice them thinly to ensure every bite bursts with strawberry flavor without overwhelming the filling.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out bread slices and spread a generous amount of cheesecake filling on one side of each slice. Arrange sliced strawberries evenly on top of the filling, then cover with another bread slice to form sandwiches. Press edges gently to seal slightly and prevent leaking.
  4. Prepare the Batter: In a shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together. This mixture will coat the sandwiches and give them a golden, crispy exterior during frying.
  5. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly, then carefully place into the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove sandwiches from the oil and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Dust generously with powdered sugar and serve immediately while warm and gooey.

Notes

  • Use slightly sweet and soft bread like brioche for best texture and flavor.
  • Maintain medium oil temperature to avoid burning and ensure even crispiness.
  • Keep filling moderate to prevent leaking during frying.
  • Use fresh strawberries for natural juicy contrast and enhanced taste.
  • Serve immediately for the best contrast of crispy outside and creamy inside.
