Ingredients
- 8 slices brioche or challah bread
- 4 ounce cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoon powdered sugar (plus extra for dusting)
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1/4 cup strawberry jam
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tablespoon milk
- 2 tablespoon butter for frying
Instructions
1. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and 2 tablespoon of powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will become the decadent filling for your sandwiches.
2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of four bread slices. Top with the sliced strawberries and a spoonful of strawberry jam. Cover with the remaining bread slices and press the edges gently to seal.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs and milk together to create the egg wash that will help the sandwiches achieve a golden, crispy exterior.
4. Dip each assembled sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are evenly coated.
5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the coated sandwiches in the skillet and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
6. Remove the fried sandwiches from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate. Dust the top of each sandwich with a light coating of powdered sugar and serve them warm, ready to delight your senses.
Notes
While the classic version is a true delight, you can also experiment with different variations of this indulgent recipe. Try substituting the strawberries with other fresh fruits, such as blueberries, raspberries, or even a mix of seasonal berries. For a heartier twist, consider using sourdough or whole-grain bread instead of the traditional brioche or challah. You can also add a touch of warmth by incorporating spices like cinnamon or nutmeg into the cream cheese filling. And for those with dietary restrictions, you can explore gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives to make this dish more inclusive.
