Learn how to make delicious Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
8 slices of brioche or white bread
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup granulated sugar
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup breadcrumbs
Vegetable oil for frying
Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries and granulated sugar. Cook over medium heat until the strawberries are soft and the sugar is dissolved, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, cooled strawberry mixture, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth and well combined.
Spread a generous layer of the strawberry cheesecake mixture onto four slices of bread, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and ground cinnamon. This mixture reminds me of the French toast my mom used to make on Sunday mornings.
Place the flour and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dredge each sandwich in flour, dip in the egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry each sandwich until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. I always use a splatter screen to keep my kitchen clean — a tip I learned the hard way!
Remove sandwiches from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
