Ingredients
Scale
Breads & Filling
- 8 slices white bread
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- Pinch of salt
- Butter or oil for frying, about 2 tablespoons
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Wash and slice fresh strawberries into thin pieces to ensure even distribution in the sandwich.
- Assemble the sandwiches: Spread approximately 2 tablespoons of cream cheese evenly on one side of each bread slice. Layer sliced strawberries over the cream cheese on 4 slices, then top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- Make the egg dip: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Dip the sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides evenly without soaking too long to avoid sogginess.
- Fry the sandwiches: Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwiches into the skillet and fry until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side. Press gently with a spatula for even cooking.
- Serve warm: Remove sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Slice in half if desired and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle cinnamon or powdered sugar over the sandwiches before serving.
- Use day-old bread for sturdier sandwiches that won’t fall apart when fried.
- You can substitute cream cheese with mascarpone for a richer taste.
- Ensure the oil/butter is hot enough to create a crisp crust without soaking into the bread.
- Serve with a side of maple syrup or honey for added sweetness if desired.
