Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches (Printable Recipe)

Brioche sandwiches with cream cheese and strawberries, pan-fried until golden and dusted with sugar.

# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Filling

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar
03 - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
04 - 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
05 - 2 tbsp strawberry jam

→ Sandwiches

06 - 8 slices brioche bread
07 - 2 large eggs
08 - 1/4 cup whole milk
09 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, for frying
10 - Powdered sugar, for dusting

# Steps to Follow:

01 - In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and optional vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
02 - Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture on four slices of brioche. Top with chopped strawberries and a small spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover with remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
03 - Whisk together eggs and milk in a shallow dish until fully combined.
04 - Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture for 10 seconds per side, ensuring edges are coated.
05 - Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until it begins to bubble. Cook sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
06 - Transfer sandwiches to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Dust with powdered sugar while still warm.
07 - Slice sandwiches diagonally and serve warm with optional maple syrup or whipped cream.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Slightly stale bread holds up better when dipped and fried.
02 - Let cream cheese come fully to room temperature for easy mixing.
03 - Fresh strawberries yield the best flavor and texture; avoid frozen unless well-drained.
