• Simple Ingredients – Made with pantry staples for an easy yet decadent treat.
• Perfectly Sweet – The balance of fresh strawberries and cheesecake filling makes it heavenly.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Assemble the Sandwiches

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four bread slices. Add sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

3. Coat the Sandwiches

In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.

4. Fry to Perfection

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed for even browning.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Pro Tips for the Best Fried Cheesecake Sandwiches

• Use Soft Bread – Brioche or challah works best for a rich, buttery flavor.
• Even Coating – Ensure the bread is well-coated with the egg mixture for a perfect golden crust.
• Extra Crispy? – Try adding a touch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the egg mixture for extra flavor.
• Make It a Dessert – Serve with whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

Storage and Reheating

• Refrigerate – Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Reheat – Warm in a skillet over low heat or in an air fryer for a crispier texture.
