Ingredients
Scale
For the Filling
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup strawberries, chopped
For the Sandwiches
- 8 slices of bread
For the Coating
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
For Frying
- Oil for frying
Optional for Serving
- Powdered sugar
- Chocolate sauce
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the chopped strawberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed without crushing them.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the strawberry cream cheese mixture evenly onto four slices of bread. Place the remaining four slices on top, pressing down gently to seal the sandwiches securely.
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. Place the breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish.
- Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich carefully into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated completely. Then press each side into the breadcrumbs, coating evenly and thoroughly for a crispy crust.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the sandwiches for about 2-3 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and crispy. Use tongs to flip gently to avoid the filling spilling out. Remove and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Serve: Serve the fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches warm. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce for added sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use firm bread slices to prevent sogginess during frying.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
- Adjust frying time based on the thickness of the sandwiches to avoid undercooked centers.
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Can be served as a dessert or sweet snack, best enjoyed immediately while warm.
