Delight in these crispy, golden Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches, featuring a luscious blend of creamy sweetened cream cheese, fresh strawberries, and strawberry jam, all sandwiched between soft brioche or challah bread and pan-fried to perfection. A perfect treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert that’s both indulgent and easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Filling

  • 8 slices 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

Egg Wash and Frying

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and evenly sweetened, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto one side of four slices of the brioche or challah bread. Layer the sliced fresh strawberries and spoonfuls of strawberry jam over the cream cheese spread. Cover each with the remaining bread slices to create four complete sandwiches.
  3. Make Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, whisk together the large eggs and milk until fully blended. This mixture will help achieve a golden, crispy exterior when frying.
  4. Coat Sandwiches: Dip each sandwich carefully into the egg wash, flipping to coat both sides evenly, allowing excess to drip off gently to avoid sogginess.
  5. Fry Sandwiches: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until each side is golden brown and crisp. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter halfway through if needed for extra browning.
  6. Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and set them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess butter. Finish by dusting generously with powdered sugar for an elegant touch and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use brioche or challah bread for the best soft and slightly sweet texture, but any thick, soft bread will work.
  • Make sure the cream cheese is properly softened for easy spreading and smooth texture.
  • Adjust strawberry quantity according to preference; fresh and ripe ones yield the best flavor.
  • For a richer flavor, use whole milk in the egg wash, or substitute with a non-dairy alternative to make it lactose-free.
  • Serve immediately for the best experience as the sandwich is crispiest right after frying.
  • Can be complemented with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup for added sweetness.
