→ Main Ingredients
01 -
8 slices of brioche or challah bread
02 -
4 oz cream cheese, softened
03 -
2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
04 -
½ cup fresh strawberries, sliced
05 -
¼ cup strawberry jam
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
3 tbsp milk
08 -
2 tbsp butter (for frying)
# Instructions:
01 -
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
02 -
Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four bread slices. Add sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
03 -
In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
04 -
Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly 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 on each side, or until golden brown.
05 -
Remove from the skillet and let drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crunch, add chopped nuts like almonds or pecans to the cream cheese mixture.
02 -
Freeze uncooked sandwiches for up to 1 month. Fry directly from frozen, adding 1–2 minutes to the cooking time per side.
03 -
Substitute strawberry jam with raspberry or apricot jam for a different flavor twist.
