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. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four bread slices.
  3. Top with sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  4. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
  5. Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated.
  6. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
  7. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden and crisp. Add the second tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.
  8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup or extra strawberry jam for added sweetness.
  • Pair with a hot cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk for the perfect treat.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use thick-cut bread: Brioche or challah holds up well when dipped in the egg mixture and fried.
  • Don’t skip the cream cheese: It creates the rich cheesecake layer that makes these sandwiches unforgettable.
  • Fresh strawberries are best: They balance the sweetness and add a juicy texture.
  • Cook low and slow: Medium heat prevents burning and ensures a crisp, golden crust.
