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
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four bread slices.
- Top with sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated.
- 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 per side, or until golden and crisp. Add the second tablespoon of butter if needed for the second batch.
- 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.
