Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 8 slices white bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slice the fresh strawberries thinly to use as the cheesecake sandwich filling.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a generous amount of cream cheese on one slice of bread, add a layer of sliced strawberries, and top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat for remaining bread slices.
- Dip the Sandwiches: Beat the eggs thoroughly in a shallow bowl. Dip each sandwich into the beaten eggs, coating both sides evenly to prepare for frying.
- Fry the Sandwiches: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place each egg-coated sandwich into the oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until the sandwich is golden brown and crispy.
- Drain and Serve: Remove sandwiches from oil and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better frying texture as it holds together without becoming soggy.
- Adjust frying time to prevent burning; medium heat is ideal.
- You can dust the sandwiches with powdered sugar or drizzle with honey for extra sweetness.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to ensure a crispy exterior.
