Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 8 slices of brioche or challah bread

Filling

  • 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

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk

For Frying

  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy, creating a sweet, tangy filling.
  2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on the cream cheese, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  3. Make the dipping batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash that will help fry the sandwiches to a crispy golden texture.
  4. Coat the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated for even frying.
  5. Fry the sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crisp.
  6. Drain and serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess butter. Dust with additional powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for a rich, soft texture that fries well.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix easily with powdered sugar.
  • You can substitute strawberry jam with any berry jam or preserve.
  • Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
  • For a dairy-free option, substitute cream cheese and butter with plant-based alternatives.
  • Be careful not to burn the sandwiches during frying by maintaining medium heat.
