Description
A delightful twist on dessert, combining creamy cheesecake and fresh strawberries in a crispy fried sandwich.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 slices of brioche or challah bread
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 tbsp butter (for frying)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of four slices of bread.
- Add sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam on top of the cream cheese layer. Cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
