Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a delightful dessert featuring creamy sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and strawberry jam sandwiched between brioche or challah bread. The sandwiches are dipped in an egg mixture and fried to a golden brown, creating a crispy exterior with a rich, fruity, and creamy filling perfect for a special breakfast or dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices of brioche or challah bread
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
  • 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1/4 cup strawberry jam

Egg Mixture and Frying

  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp butter (for frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring the powdered sugar is fully incorporated for a sweet and rich flavor.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four bread slices. Layer sliced fresh strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese. Cover with the remaining bread slices, pressing gently to form sandwiches.
  3. Prepare Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined. This will be used to coat the sandwiches before frying.
  4. Coat Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly. Allow excess egg to drip off to avoid sogginess.
  5. Fry Sandwiches: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter if needed to fry the second batch.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess butter. Dust the tops generously with powdered sugar before serving warm.

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
  • For a richer taste, brioche bread is preferred, but challah works well too.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier.
  • Fry over medium heat to prevent burning and ensure thorough cooking.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture; the sandwich is best enjoyed warm.
  • Optional: Add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra flavor.
