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
For Frying
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Coat the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated for even frying.
- 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.
- 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.
