Description
Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are the ultimate indulgence, blending the creamy, tangy flavors of cheesecake with the freshness of ripe strawberries and the irresistible crunch of a golden-brown exterior.
Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoon butter for frying
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoon of powdered sugar in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on one side of four bread slices. Top with the sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover with the remaining four bread slices, pressing the edges gently to seal the sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs and milk together to create a simple egg wash. Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Carefully place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they’re golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the fried sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate. Dust them generously with powdered sugar and serve the Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches warm, ready to delight your taste buds.
Notes
To ensure your Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches turn out perfectly, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
– Bread Selection: Brioche or challah bread work best, as their rich, slightly sweet flavor and soft texture complement the filling beautifully.
– Cream Cheese Consistency: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and smooth, creamy filling.
– Strawberry Preparation: Slice the fresh strawberries thinly for even distribution throughout the sandwich.
– Frying Technique: Maintain the oil temperature at medium heat to prevent the sandwiches from burning on the outside while leaving the inside undercooked.
