Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup diced fresh strawberries
Sandwiches:
- 8 slices brioche or white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar (for coating)
- Butter or oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in diced strawberries.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Flatten bread slices slightly with a rolling pin. Spoon cheesecake filling onto half of the bread slices, then top with remaining slices to form sandwiches. Press edges to seal.
- Fry Sandwiches: Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow bowl. Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in another bowl. Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into egg mixture, then fry until golden brown. Coat in cinnamon sugar.
- Serve: Remove from pan and serve warm.
Notes
- For a crispier texture, use slightly stale bread or refrigerate sandwiches for 15 minutes before frying.
- Experiment with different berries or add jam for additional flavor variations.
