Ingredients
Scale
Bread and Filling
- 8 slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
Batter and Frying
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four slices of bread. Top this layer with sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam, then cover each with another slice of bread to form sandwiches.
- Make Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk thoroughly to create the coating mixture.
- Dip Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich carefully into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly and fully coated for an even fry.
- Heat Butter and Fry: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the egg-coated sandwiches in the skillet carefully and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread turns a crispy golden brown.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving to enhance the sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use brioche or challah bread for a soft, buttery texture that crisps nicely when fried.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to blend easily with powdered sugar for a smooth filling.
- Fresh strawberries add brightness, but you can swap with other berries if preferred.
- Fry over medium heat to avoid burning while getting a golden crust.
- Serve immediately for best texture; the bread crisps up best freshly fried.
- For a richer taste, butter both sides of the sandwich before dipping in egg mixture if desired.
