Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches Recipe

Introduction

Fried Strawberry Cheesecake Sandwiches are a delightful treat that combines creamy cheesecake filling with fresh strawberries, all encased in golden, crispy bread. This easy-to-make dessert is perfect for a special snack or a sweet finish to any meal.

Ingredients

• 8 slices of bread
• 4 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Step 1: Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on four slices of bread. Top each with a handful of sliced strawberries, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
2. Step 2: Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each sandwich into the eggs, coating both sides well.
3. Step 3: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the sandwiches for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
4. Step 4: Remove from the skillet and let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips & Variations

• Use slightly stale bread for better frying texture that holds up well without becoming soggy.
• For extra sweetness, drizzle with honey or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
• Substitute cream cheese with mascarpone or ricotta for a different flavor profile.

Storage

These sandwiches are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or toaster oven to preserve crispiness.

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Sandwich Ingredients

• 8 slices of bread
• 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tbsp granulated sugar (optional, for dipping mixture)
• Butter or oil for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, soften the cream cheese until smooth. Wash and slice the fresh strawberries into thin pieces to make the filling.
2. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread a generous layer of cream cheese on one slice of bread, top with sliced strawberries, then cover with another slice of bread to make a sandwich. Repeat for all slices.
3. Prepare the dipping mixture: In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs with milk and granulated sugar until well combined.
4. Dip and coat the sandwiches: Carefully dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly to ensure a crispy fried exterior.
5. Fry the sandwiches: Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the dipped sandwiches in the skillet and fry until golden brown and crisp on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side.
6. Drain and serve: Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve warm and enjoy your crispy, creamy fried strawberry cheesecake sandwiches.

Notes

• Use slightly stale bread for better frying results and less sogginess.
• Ensure cream cheese is softened to spread easily without tearing the bread.
• Add a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for extra sweetness before serving.
• Serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
• For a healthier version, try baking the sandwiches instead of frying.
