Instructions
How to Make Delectable Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
Take four slices of your chosen bread and spread a generous amount of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Layer on sliced strawberries and a dollop of strawberry preserves before topping with the remaining slices.
In a shallow dish, beat together the eggs and whole milk until well combined.
Carefully dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are a beautiful golden brown.
Transfer the fried sandwiches to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess butter. Dust with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness and serve warm.
Notes
Opt for brioche or challah bread for a richer flavor and ensure cream cheese is softened for a smooth filling.
