Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling

  • Cream cheese: 8 oz (softened)
  • Powdered sugar: 1/3 cup
  • Vanilla extract: 1 tsp
  • Fresh strawberries: 1/2 cup, chopped

Sandwich Assembly

  • Sliced bread: 8 slices (preferably day-old)

Batter for Frying

  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: 1/4 cup

Finishing Touch

  • Granulated sugar: 1/4 cup
  • Cinnamon: 1 tsp
  • Vegetable oil: for frying (about 1-2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Start by mixing softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Then gently fold in chopped fresh strawberries, ensuring the fruit is well distributed but still chunky enough to give bursts of flavor.
  2. Assemble the Sandwiches: Take slices of bread and evenly spread the strawberry cheesecake filling on half of them. Top with another slice of bread, pressing gently to seal the edges so the filling won’t spill during frying.
  3. Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth and well combined. This batter will coat the sandwiches, helping to create the crispy exterior once fried.
  4. Fry the Sandwiches: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich into the egg batter, making sure both sides are coated, then carefully place it in the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  5. Add Finishing Touches: Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle this sugary blend over the warm sandwiches for an extra layer of sweetness and aroma.

Notes

  • Use day-old bread: Slightly stale bread holds up better during frying and absorbs less oil.
  • Don’t overfill: Use a moderate amount of filling to prevent leaks and ensure even cooking.
  • Maintain oil temperature: Medium heat keeps the sandwiches cooking evenly without burning the crust.
  • Chill the filling: Refrigerate the cream cheese and strawberry mixture for 15-20 minutes to make spreading easier.
  • Flip gently: Use a spatula to carefully turn the sandwiches to avoid bursting or spilling the filling.
