Ingredients
-
8 slices white sandwich bread or brioche
-
6 oz cream cheese, softened
-
3 tbsp powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
-
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 cup sliced fresh strawberries or strawberry jam
-
2 tbsp butter (for frying)
-
1 egg, beaten (optional, for sealing)
-
Optional toppings: powdered sugar, chocolate sauce, whipped cream
Instructions
-
Make Filling: In a bowl, mix cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
-
Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cheesecake mixture on 4 slices of bread. Top with sliced strawberries or jam. Add remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
-
Seal Edges: Press edges gently to seal. For extra hold, brush edges with beaten egg and crimp with a fork.
-
Fry Sandwiches: In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Fry sandwiches 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
-
Top and Serve: Transfer to paper towels to drain. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce. Serve warm.
Notes
Don’t overfill or the cheesecake mixture may leak during frying.
Use room temperature cream cheese for easier spreading.
For a healthier version, air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
Try flavor variations like Nutella, blueberries, or cinnamon sugar.
