Ingredients
For the Cheesecake Filling:
✔ 8 oz cream cheese, softened
✔ ¼ cup powdered sugar
✔ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✔ ½ cup diced fresh strawberries
For the Sandwiches:
✔ 8 slices of sandwich bread (brioche or white bread works best)
✔ 2 large eggs
✔ ¼ cup milk
✔ ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
✔ ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
✔ ½ tsp cinnamon (for coating)
✔ Oil, for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
1. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the diced strawberries. Set aside.
2. Assemble the Sandwiches
Spread the cheesecake filling evenly onto 4 slices of bread, then top each with another slice to make sandwiches. Press the edges gently to seal.
3. Prepare the Coating
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and optional cinnamon. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon for coating.
4. Fry the Sandwiches
Heat about ½ inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Dip each sandwich in the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated. Carefully place in the hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
5. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
Once fried, remove the sandwiches and immediately roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for a deliciously sweet coating.
6. Serve & Enjoy
Let them cool for a minute before slicing in half. Serve warm and enjoy with a drizzle of honey, chocolate sauce, or a dusting of powdered sugar!
