Ingredients
1x Batch (4 sandwiches)
-
8 slices brioche or challah bread
-
4 oz cream cheese, softened
-
2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
-
½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
-
¼ cup strawberry jam
-
2 large eggs
-
3 tbsp milk
-
2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Instructions
-
Make the filling
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth. -
Assemble the sandwiches
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread.
Add sliced strawberries and a small spoonful of strawberry jam on top.
Close each one with the remaining bread slices. -
Prepare the coating
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk until combined. -
Dip the sandwiches
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly. -
Fry the sandwiches
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Fry each sandwich for 2–3 minutes per side, or until beautifully golden.
Add more butter as needed. -
Finish and serve
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
Dust lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
-
Use soft bread: Brioche or challah gives the best flavor and fries beautifully.
-
Don’t over-soak: A quick dip in the egg mixture is enough—too much and the bread becomes soggy.
-
Switch up the fruit: Try blueberries, raspberries, or sliced bananas.
-
Make ahead option: Assemble the sandwiches, refrigerate, and fry when ready.
