Indulge in these delightful Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches, featuring creamy sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and strawberry jam sandwiched between brioche or challah bread slices, then dipped in an egg batter and pan-fried to golden perfection. A perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread Base

  • 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 & Cooking

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and mix until it becomes smooth and creamy, ensuring a sweet and tangy filling base.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer the sliced fresh strawberries on top, followed by a spoonful of strawberry jam, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form four sandwiches.
  3. Make the Egg Batter: In a shallow dish, whisk together the two eggs and 3 tablespoons of milk until fully blended. This mixture creates a rich coating for frying.
  4. Coat the Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich carefully into the egg and milk mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated but not soaked to prevent sogginess.
  5. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until the bread turns golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining butter as needed for frying.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Dust generously with powdered sugar before serving warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for a soft yet sturdy sandwich base that crisps beautifully when fried.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the cream cheese mixture to taste for desired sweetness.
  • Fresh strawberries add natural tartness but can be substituted with frozen if fresh are unavailable, just thaw and drain well.
  • Be careful not to over-soak the bread in the egg mixture to prevent sogginess during frying.
  • Serve immediately after frying for the best texture and flavor.
  • Can be served with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness if desired.
