Description
Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches deliver carnival-style indulgence at home. These golden, crispy treats feature cream cheese filling and fresh strawberries sandwiched between bread slices, then coated and fried to perfection.
Ingredients
- 8 slices white or brioche bread
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Whipped cream for serving
- Extra powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
1. Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
2. Spread cream cheese mixture on 4 bread slices. Top with sliced strawberries. Cover with remaining bread slices and press gently.
3. Whisk eggs and milk in shallow bowl. Place breadcrumbs in second bowl.
4. Dip each sandwich in egg wash, coating both sides thoroughly. Press into breadcrumbs, ensuring complete coverage.
5. Heat oil to 350°F in deep fryer or skillet. Fry sandwiches 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
6. Remove to paper towel-lined plate. Cut diagonally and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm with whipped cream.
Notes
- Freeze assembled sandwiches 15 minutes before coating for easier handling.
- Test oil temperature with bread cube—should sizzle immediately.
- Add cinnamon to breadcrumbs for churro-style flavor.
- Best served immediately while hot and crispy.
