Make the cheesecake filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
Assemble the sandwiches:
Spread a layer of cheesecake mixture on one slice of bread.
Add a spoonful of strawberry jam or diced strawberries on top.
Cover with another slice of bread and press edges gently to seal (you can trim the edges neatly if you want).
Dip the sandwiches: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, and a teaspoon of sugar. Dip each sandwich in the mixture, coating both sides well (like French toast).
Fry: Heat a skillet with butter or oil over medium heat. Fry sandwiches until golden brown on each side — about 2–3 minutes per side.
Coat in sugar: Mix sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. While still warm, roll or sprinkle sandwiches with the sugar mixture.
Serve: Slice diagonally and serve warm with:
Fresh strawberries 🍓
Whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar
Optional drizzle of melted chocolate or strawberry sauce
💡 Tips
For a crispier texture, use slightly stale bread or brioche.
You can freeze the assembled (unfried) sandwiches for 10–15 minutes before frying — helps them hold shape.
They’re amazing served warm with vanilla ice cream! 🍨
Would you like me to give you a baked version (no frying, oven-style) that tastes just as creamy and indulgent but lighter?
