Ingredients
- 8 slices of white or brioche bread
- 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs or crushed graham crackers
- Oil for frying
- Optional: powdered sugar or chocolate drizzle for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture on 4 slices of bread. Top with sliced strawberries and cover with the remaining bread slices. Press gently to seal.
- Coat the sandwiches: Dip each sandwich in the beaten egg and milk mixture, then coat evenly with breadcrumbs or crushed graham crackers.
- Fry the sandwiches: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry sandwiches until golden brown on both sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Serve: Remove from oil and drain on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate, if desired. Serve warm.
