Ingredients

8 slices of bread
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
2 eggs

Instructions

Step 1: Spread cream cheese evenly on four slices of bread. Top each with sliced strawberries, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Step 2: Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each sandwich into the eggs, coating both sides thoroughly.
Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it. Fry each sandwich until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Step 4: Remove from heat, let cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use brioche or challah bread for a richer, sweeter flavor.
Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness.
For a crunchy texture, roll the sandwiches in crushed graham crackers before frying.
Substitute strawberries with other fresh fruits like blueberries or raspberries.

Storage

Store leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen strawberries?

It’s best to use fresh strawberries as frozen ones can release excess moisture and make the sandwiches soggy.

What type of cream cheese is best for this recipe?

Regular cream cheese at room temperature works best for easy spreading and the creamiest texture.

Ingredients

Scale

Sandwich

8 slices white bread, crusts removed
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced

Batter

2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk (optional, for thinner batter)
1 tbsp sugar (optional, for sweetness)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional for flavor)

For frying

Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

Prepare the filling and assemble sandwiches: Spread softened cream cheese evenly on 4 slices of bread. Arrange sliced strawberries over the cream cheese, then top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Prepare the batter: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly. For a slightly thinner and flavored batter, whisk in milk, sugar, and vanilla extract until combined.
Heat the oil: Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan to a depth of about 1/2 inch and heat over medium heat until shimmering and hot but not smoking (around 350°F or 175°C).
Dip sandwiches in batter: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg batter, coating both sides evenly, and allow excess batter to drip off.
Fry the sandwiches: Place the dipped sandwiches gently into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until the bread is golden brown and crispy, using tongs or a spatula to flip carefully.
Drain and serve: Remove the fried sandwiches and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey.
