Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 8 slices white bread
Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
Batter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (optional, for egg wash thining)
- Butter or oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gently fold in the sliced fresh strawberries, ensuring the fruit is evenly distributed without breaking it down too much.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out four slices of bread. Spread a generous amount of the cream cheese and strawberry mixture on each. Top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches, pressing gently to seal them.
- Prepare the Egg Wash: In a shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly. If desired, add a tablespoon or two of milk to lighten the batter for a thinner coating.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg wash, coating both sides completely. Allow excess egg to drip off to prevent sogginess when frying.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the dipped sandwiches in the pan. Fry each side for about 2-3 minutes or until they turn golden brown and firm to the touch.
- Drain and Serve: Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm, optionally dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey for extra sweetness.
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly stale bread for better texture and less sogginess during frying.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to make spreading easier and even.
- You can substitute fresh strawberries with other berries or fruit preserves if desired.
- Adjust frying time to prevent burning and ensure the center is warmed through.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture as they are crisp freshly fried.
